It's not as if she actually was a child prostitute. And chances are, Hinckley would have become obsessed with anyone who ended up playing the role.
Jodie Foster is probably the most stable of the child actresses since Shirley Temple. I think her mother did an excellent job.
...and I knew Jodie Foster was gay.

you took the words right out of my mouth MM and I will go one step further and say I've always thought she was a great actress...granted she's done some movies I didnt like, but hell so has Alan Rickman lol....I love Nell...and Sommersby (even though I cant stand Richard Gere) I could watch over and over and over again. Maverick? great flick too, but to me her "best" movie was The Accused (as an adult....her best kid movie in my little opinion is Candleshoe, Freaky Friday is a close 2nd)
I am actually surprised by the amount of people saying they didnt know she was gay
