Jodi Foster Comes Out of the Closet - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Jodie Foster has finally come out as a lesbian to pay tribute to her girlfriend of 14 years.

The fiercely-private actress has always resolutely refused to discuss her sexuality.

But after winning an award at a Women in Entertainment breakfast, she broke her taboo to thank "my beautiful Cydney".
Her emotional speech brought tears to the eyes of some of her audience at the Beverly Hills Hotel, revealing a vulnerable side to a star who has long resisted calls from gay rights activists to clarify her personal life.

Miss Foster, 44, a double Oscar winner, praised her film producer partner Cydney Bernard "who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss".

The couple met on the set of the film Sommersby in 1993 and are raising two sons, Charles, nine, and Kit, six, at their Malibu home.

Although she gave birth to both boys, Miss Foster has never revealed the identity of the father or the circumstances of their conception.

As with most questions about her personal life, the actress has refused to comment on gossip that the father was an old university friend from Yale, who is also gay.
Accepting the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, she offered an insight into the insecurities that haunt her.

"I feel fragile, unsure, struggling to figure it all out, trying to get there even though I'm not sure where there is," she said.

"I've been working in this business for 42 years and there's no way you can do that and not be as nutty as a fruitcake."

The motives behind Miss Foster's decision to go public were the subject of feverish speculation last night.

One theory was that she is forging a new career off camera as a director and producer and feels less pressure to compromise to the conservative demands of Middle America.

Earlier this year the leading U.S. gay magazine Out carried her photo on the cover with the headline, The glass closet: Why the stars won't come out and play.

Critics have suggested she feared her career could suffer if she spoke about her personal life.

They pointed to comic Ellen DeGeneres, whose sitcom was taken off the air after she declared her love for actress Anne Heche and engineered her show so that her TV character came out at about the same time.

However, Miss DeGeneres now hosts a successful daytime chat show.

"I think Jodie just wanted to thank one of the most important people in her life," said a friend of Miss Foster yesterday.

Rest of Article

Talk about 'un-news'....who hasn't figured this out about 20 years ago? But, it's huge news in the world of movies to have someone of Foster's caliber to 'break the silence', I guess.....

Plan9 · 12-22-2007, 09:25 AM

... I didn't know she was gay.

Man, my lezdar is WAY off.

KellyC · 12-22-2007, 11:55 AM

"nutty as a fruitcake" get it? Because she's gay! Hahaha

But yeah, I didn't know she's gay either.

ratbastid · 12-22-2007, 12:24 PM

You kidding? This has been rumored at for years.

It's great she finally came out, although to keep your sexuality under wraps these days feels a bit antiquated...

blahblah454 · 12-22-2007, 12:37 PM

I had no idea.

Willravel · 12-22-2007, 01:07 PM

Her lesbianism was hidden because of my crush on her!

pig · 12-22-2007, 02:40 PM

Shit, I had a lesbian friend back in Illinois who used to go on and on and on and on and on and on...and on about how great Foster was, how hot she was, how gay she was, and how great that was. Posters everywhere and such. I think she thought she was sticking to the straight chaps by pointing out Jodie's gayness, but honestly I've never thought she was that hot except a scene in "Contact" where she was wearing jeans. I admit I thought to myself "now that's an ass made for those jeans..." Other than that, she has kind of a "V" thing going on...just a little too reptilian and cold.

The_Jazz · 12-22-2007, 03:40 PM

Isn't "news" supposed to be new?

Shit, I don't know anything, and even I knew this YEARS ago.

Baraka_Guru · 12-22-2007, 04:38 PM

The news isn't that she's gay; it's that she's now willing to discuss it.

LoganSnake · 12-22-2007, 05:06 PM

I had no idea she was a lesbian either.

Ustwo · 12-22-2007, 05:53 PM

Yeah, this is just for show. He's an actor, after all. It's what he does. Look at those seedy homosexual eyes. He's probably eying up James Marsden right here.

I've known people who didn't have any economic reasons to hide it who are cover married with kids (well one still is, the other got divorced, apparently the wife didn't know).

Anyway, thanks for the proof of his gayness.

The fact that the OP article came from a rag (the Daily Mail) and carried over here by the Enquirer/Globe/Star.

Is Jodie Foster gay?

Don't know, don't care. I respect her acting and the fact that unlike many child actors our age (in their 40's), she managed to truly graduate from Yale and maintain a decent private life where not much bad has ever been said about her.

As for private lives of the stars..... I'd rather just have my fantasies and allow them their privacy. I truly don't need to hear rumors "Jamie Lee Curtis is a Hermaphrodite"..... yeah well I hope your dick develops warts and falls off or your vagina gets super glued shut. Ruin my fantasy will ya.

What's sad is we now have 20+ yr old starlets and stars out there literally killing themselves to stay in the news..... and how pathetic is that? One can say it's them being publicity hogs.... but in all honesty, it's the people who buy the rags and delve into the bullshit that gives these people the attention and gives them the feeling they need to keep doing more shit like that in order to stay famous.

I guess what I'm saying in a long winded self righteous way is that, I respect the famous who are more discreet and let their work do their talking. I don't need to know nor care to know their private lives.

I also find it ironic that some of the people who seem to get into the raggish gossip are ones who cry that they fear the government is trying to get into their personal lives.

It's always been about their private lives. They "play" someone else, in public. The more successful they are, playing "the part", the more their audience develops a curiousity about the "man behind the mask". If nothing else, it helps an actor avoid being "type" cast. If their audience is convinced that the actor is the character, there is little curousity from their audience about the "real life" of the actor...

Some that you recognise, some that youve hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Everybodys a dreamer and everybodys a star
And everybodys in show biz, it doesnt matter who you are.

And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along hollywood boulevard.

I wish my life was a non-stop hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.

12:45 P.M.

Dear Jodie,

There is a definite possibility that I will be killed in my attempt to get Reagan. It is for this very reason that I am writing you this letter now.
As you well know by now I love you very much. Over the past seven months I've left you dozens of poems, letters and love messages in the faint hope that you could develop an interest in me. Although we talked on the phone a couple of times I never had the nerve to simply approach you and introduce myself. Besides my shyness, I honestly did not wish to bother you with my constant presence. I know the many messages left at your door and in your mailbox were a nuisance, but I felt that it was the most painless way for me to express my love for you.
I feel very good about the fact that you at least know my name and know how I feel about you. And by hanging around your dormitory, I've come to realize that I'm the topic of more than a little conversation, however full of ridicule it may be. At least you know that I'll always love you.
Jodie, I would abandon this idea of getting Reagan in a second if I could only win your heart and live out the rest of my life with you, whether it be in total obscurity or whatever.
I will admit to you that the reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I just cannot wait any longer to impress you. I've got to do something now to make you understand, in no uncertain terms, that I am doing all of this for your sake! By sacrificing my freedom and possibly my life, I hope to change your mind about me. This letter is being written only an hour before I leave for the Hilton Hotel. Jodie, I'm asking you to please look into your heart and at least give me the chance, with this historical deed, to gain your respect and love.

I love you forever,

John Hinckley

Hinckley's 3/10/1981 Note to Foster
Jodie,

GOODBYE! I love you six trillion times. DON'T YOU MAYBE LIKE ME A LITTLE BIT? (YOU MUST ADMIT IT I AM DIFFERENT).
It would make all the difference.

JOHN HINCKLEY

It is ironic, now that it is public that Foster is gay. She had no awareness of Hinckley or of his attraction to her, before he attempted to assassinate president Reagan, but afterwards, she did "own" what had happened; it became part of the public's perception of her.

What kind of a parent permits their thirteen year old daughter to portray the part of a thirteen year old prostitute in a Hollywood movie?

KellyC · 12-23-2007, 07:01 AM

Helen Hunt and Jodi Foster look remarkably alike. I wonder if she's gay too.

Ahh, one can only hope.

I agree with all of the above(for the record, I don't read rags like the Daily Mail-the story was actually in the AOL link to CNN, but can't copy and paste that. I just took the first of a litany of articles about it). Which brings me to this-it has gotten to the point where even news outlets like CNN and the NY Times are spending an inordinate about of time and money covering the private lives of people whose only purpose in life is to entertain.

We have become a nation of perverted voyeurism; daily doses of who's shagging whom, who fell off the wagon for the 14th time and who is having a baby are taking over what we used to call "news".

In this instance, Jody Foster is considered an icon of Hollywood-the little girl actress who grew up to be an Oscar-winning adult with a huge fanbase, including being the fantasy girlfriend of more than a few, is the darling of the media and the public, both of which had been speculating for decades about her sexual orientation. Big whoop. She's an A.C.T.R.E.S.S.

Do I read some of the trash? Yep. I, too, am voyeuristic, but I scan it while reading my online news. Couldn't tell ya who's shagging whom or who got a DUI this week because I don't care, either.

It's just a lame theory, but I think this is all in some attempt to make us 'feel better' instead of lamenting all the strife in the world. It's keeping us ignorant in a manipulative sort of way. *shrug*

It's one indicator of subjective acceptance. Another would be ticket sales. Another would be reviews. Another would be interviews. Another would be fan sites. Another would be word-of-mouth. You said she was terrible. There are many who disagree with you. There is a lot of documentation to go along with this. This is all subjective, of course.

To have objective proof, we'll need to resort to the philosophy of art; we can start with Aristotle's Poetics and could perhaps move on to Edmund Burke's Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful. Let me know if you want to go there.

If you think she was undeserving of her awards, I'd like to hear why. Particulars would be nice. We can start there and end up on Burke if you like. But I suggest starting a "Jodie Foster: Thespian" thread, if you will.

clearly i'm being hyperbolic here, but I think she's one of the most overrated actresses around. she was boring and wooden in Silence of the Lambs (and the accent was laughable), she was helped immensely by a great script in Contact. when she's working with a bad script, she can't rise above it (see a lot of her recent work). she always has the same drunk/just got novacaine look on her face.

Aladdin Sane · 12-25-2007, 06:07 PM

I was introduced to Jody Foster at a film festival in Dallas in 1980. I went to the festival with my film class professor who was friends with Adrian Lyne, the director of the movie "Foxes." Jody Foster was in the movie and attended the screening with the director. The four of us met, literally behind the screen in the theater. I was 19 years old, and Jody was a few years younger. I was sooooo hoping that the four of us would go for a drink, but it wasn't to be. I have often imagined what might have been with Jody and I.
Now, 30 years later you are telling me she is gay, thereby ruining the longest-lasting fantasy of my life. Thanks a lot.

OutCast · 12-25-2007, 06:15 PM

I never ever would of thought that she was gay? I guess the best a guy could hope for now is that she's bi?

Actually, I believe Jodie Foster had a very good mother who knew that the role of Iris in Taxi Driver would be very good for her career as a serious actress. And it was. There was a lot of hype around the young Martin Scorsese at the time...and this film. If I knew my daughter had the talent and wanted to take acting seriously, I would encourage her, too. 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.

Anyway, thanks for the proof of his gayness. __________________ Knowing that death is certain and that the time of death is uncertain, what's the most important thing? —Bhikkhuni Pema Chödrön Humankind cannot bear very much reality. —From "Burnt Norton," Four Quartets (1936), T.

Aladdin Sane Degenerate Location: San Marvelous	I was introduced to Jody Foster at a film festival in Dallas in 1980. I went to the festival with my film class professor who was friends with Adrian Lyne, the director of the movie "Foxes." Jody Foster was in the movie and attended the screening with the director. The four of us met, literally behind the screen in the theater. I was 19 years old, and Jody was a few years younger. I was sooooo hoping that the four of us would go for a drink, but it wasn't to be. I have often imagined what might have been with Jody and I. Now, 30 years later you are telling me she is gay, thereby ruining the longest-lasting fantasy of my life. Thanks a lot. __________________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

OutCast Upright	I never ever would of thought that she was gay? I guess the best a guy could hope for now is that she's bi?
