As an Oscar-Award-winning actor and director,Jodie Fosteris a legend in the film industry.
Foster got her start in commercials when she was three.
Even so, Foster has acknowledged that success has definite downsides.
From day one,Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecterterrified Foster.
Finally, on the last day of production, Hopkins approached her.
The film’s plot centers around Foster’s interactions with a lion who is supposed to be her pet.
However, one day on set, the lion unexpectedly picked Foster up and shook her in his mouth.
Finally, the lion’s trainer commanded the animal to drop her.
While the encounter was frightening, in hindsight, Foster presumed she hadn’t been in mortal danger.
After she recovered from the incident, Foster courageously continued to work with the lion.
However, she was more wary of him.
In a later instance, Foster became uncomfortable with the way the lion was watching her.
Opting for caution, she got away from the animal immediately.
In addition, Foster has also admitted that she remains somewhat scared of cats because of this experience.
Learning Foster was a student at Yale, Hinckley moved from Hollywood to Connecticut.
He began leaving her numerous hand-written poems and letters.
Foster ignored his messages and eventually reported Hinkley to Yale’s dean.
Undeterred, Hinkley called Foster and recorded her.
He also recorded his own obsessive thoughts about the actor.
Hinkley claimed he wouldn’t need to commit this crime if Foster entered a relationship with him.
She was caught up in a maelstrom of media coverage and the FBI’s investigation.
Days later, during her performance in a campus play, someone left a note threatening Foster’s life.
Shortly after she received a second threat, authorities arrested a man named Richardson.
Like Hinkley, Richardson planned to assassinate Reagan.
However, he also intended to kill Foster first, only changing his mind after seeing her onstage.
