15 Amazing Gifts Jodie Foster Has Given the World - in Honor of her 52nd Birthday
Two-time Oscar winner, Golden Globe lifetime achievement winner, and kickass director Jodie Foster turns 52 today. On this happy occasion we feel like we should be giving back to her for all of the gifts she's given the world throughout the years, but since she's got it pretty good without our feeble help, we thought we'd honor her with 15 Amazing Gifts Jodie Foster Gave to the World. Fifteen hardly begins to cover the magnificence that is Jodie, so just consider this a start.
