Jodie is gorgeous. Even her laugh is beautiful. One of the most talented yet least egotistical actors ever.

Imagine existing in the world of Hollywood for all these years, and still retaining your integrity. Got to admire that. 😻

My eyes popped out of my head when I saw that Jodie Foster was on the show. What a magnificent interview. She is, as Jimmy said, a legend.

[gdionwood]

I dare anyone to point out to me someone with more talent and more class than Jodie Foster. By far the greatest actress of my generation, and yet so down to earth!

Jodie Foster is a treasure.
A strong brillant woman. We need more of her.
Wonderful.. so thank you!

[rosshowarth]

She always just makes me smile, that luminous beauty, that mix of brains and heart . A star for the ages, no matter how reluctant.

It's unreal that she's 61 years of age and still naturally looks so good. What a legend

The Silence Of The Lambs is the by far one of the greatest acted and scariest movies of all time!! I went to the movie theater to see it as an adult and when I got home I checked under my bed. Jodi and Anthony Hopkins were just the most dynamic duo and it will be a long time before anything out of Hollywood can match it!

[janetpatterson]

OMG I love her. She looks amazing. No botched plastic surgeries no fake BS. All real. What a great actress.❤

[christinechristensen]

Absolutely LOVE Jodie Foster! She is so talented and gets more beautiful by the day! She seems so sweet and the kind of friend you would love to be around. I respect that she has kept her private life private and I’m happy for all of her successes. Love you so much, Jodie!

[johnwillard]

Just a regular guy from Butte Montana I'm 64 years old and I got to say I just love her

[AA-qbni]

Jodie just seems like such a cool woman. One of the best actresses of all time 🙌🏼

[domnulgadea]

Never forget her role in Contact 1995! Superb

[armandoucles]

Jodie Foster is an extraordinary actor. Her presence on screen is intense. She puts her all in every role she puts herself into. I love "The Accused", "Silence of the Lambs" and I also loved her in "Maverick".

Jodie Foster, and Jamie Lee Curtis are two beautiful women who decided to gracefully age naturally.

[denisemarie]

I’ve always loved Jody! I followed her in the 70s as a kid, and I only grew to respect her even more! I respect her privacy. Everybody deserves their own place of happiness! She’s a fine example of a very strong woman and mother! She has earned her spot in Hollywoods finest! ❤ We love you, Jody!

[leannegiaccotto]

She has aged beautifully!! And talent, wow! So many stars go for overboard plastic surgery and look horrible. She’s naturally beautiful! Kudos Jodie!

[zlamelie]

She is such a breath of fresh air in Hollyweird! Beautiful, talented, unproblematic and down to Earth.

[gageguy]

Jodie's such a wonderful human being. If there's a list, she's near the top.
