Season 4 True Detective: Night Country:
When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.
Jodie Foster’s stunning performances as a rape survivor in The Accused and as Special Agent Clarice Starling in the hit thriller The Silence of the Lambs earned her two Academy Awards® for Best Actress and a reputation as one of the most critically acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Foster began her career at age three, appearing as “The Coppertone Girl” in the television commercial. She then went on to become a regular on several television series, including Mayberry RFD, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, My Three Sons and Paper Moon. She made her feature debut in Napoleon and Samantha when she was eight years old. But it was her role in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1975), which brought her to the audience’s attention, and her powerful portrayal of a streetwise teenager in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976) that won her widespread critical praise and international attention.
Foster appeared in a total of four films in 1976, Bugsy Malone, Echoes of Summer, Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and Taxi Driver, which were all presented at the Cannes Film Festival. Alan Parker’s Bugsy Malone earned her an Italian Comedy Award. In total, Foster has appeared in more than 40 films.
Most recently, Foster starred alongside Benedict Cumberbatch and Shailene Woodley in The Mauritanian. Directed by Kevin Macdonald, the film is based on the 2015 memoir Guantanamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi.
For her role in The Silence of the Lambs, Foster was also awarded a British Academy Award, a New York Film Critics Award and a Chicago Film Critics Award. Foster received her first Oscar® nomination and awards from the National Society of Film Critics and the Los Angeles Film Critics for her role in Taxi Driver.
She also became the only American actress to win two separate awards in the same year from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts – Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer honoring her performances in both Taxi Driver and Bugsy Malone. In 2013 she was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for Lifetime Achievement. In 2016 she was awarded with the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film from BAFTA Los Angeles.
In 2023, she was presented with the George Eastman Award for distinguished contribution to the art of cinema. In addition to her acting, Foster has always had a keen interest in the art of filmmaking.
