'''Jodie Foster''' (1962-), American actress, director and producer. This page writen and copyright by Will Johnson, [mailto:wjhonson@aol.com wjhonson@aol.com], Professional Genealogist. This page is locked, if you'd like to comment on it, please email me. I am having a hard time finding biographical details on her mother. Some details are repeated many times in various sources, but other details, that one would expect to find, are just missing. If you have details on her mother, that I do not have, please let me know. <table><tr><td>http://scifipedia.scifi.com/images/c/c6/Jodie-foster-1.jpg</td><td>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/Jodie_Foster.4785.jpg/200px-Jodie_Foster.4785.jpg</td></tr></table> ==Jodie Foster== <table><tr><td>Alicia Christian "Jodie" Foster was born [[19 Nov]], 1962 in Los Angeles County, California, the youngest daughter of four children born to Lucius Fisher Foster III and his wife Evelyn Ella "Brandy" Almond. Her father, was an Air Force colonel who later became a real-estate agent. Lucius already had three children with a previous wife when he met Brandy in 1954 and married her impetuously in Tijuana. Lucius and Brandy had been divorced for some time before she was born. Her brother Buddy explains Jodie's conception as the result of a brief re-encounter between their parents some time after the divorce. Jodie's mother supported the family by working for a film producer, and later in public relations. Both Jodie's parents briefly married other people. Jodie's brother Lucius "Buddy" Foster was a child-star, most well-known in his television roles as "Johnny Dow" in 17 episodes of "Hondo" in 1967; and as "Mike Jones" in 29 episodes of Mayberry, R.F.D. from 1968 to 1971. Although [Jodie] Foster's first acting appearance was at three years old, her first significant role came in 1976 as an underage prostitute in Taxi Driver, receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. After becoming a star, Jodie attended school at the prestidious Lycee Francais.</td> <td>http://www.nndb.com/people/756/000023687/jodie_4.jpg</td></tr></table> She won an Oscar for Best Actress in 1988 for playing a rape survivor in The Accused. In 1991, she starred in The Silence of the Lambs as Clarice Starling, a gifted FBI trainee, assisting in a hunt for a serial killer. This performance received international acclaim and her second Oscar for Best Actress." ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jodie_Foster&oldid=190237220 "Jodie Foster"], permanent-link on Wikipedia) Jodie Foster met her long-term partner [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydney_Bernard Cydney Bernard] (b. 1953) in 1993/4 on the set of the film Sommersby. They have been living together for the past 14 years. After long speculation about her sexuality, Jodie finally came out Dec 2007. Jodie has two sons, but has deflected questions about who their father(s) might be. In 1997, her brother Buddy Foster, wrote a book ''Foster Child'', which purports to be a biography of Jodie Foster, but has been called a biography of the entire Foster family. The book discusses many events growing up in his family. He paints his mother in a villainous way, especially stating that she spent all his career earnings, and when Jodie became a star, the rest of the family suffered some neglect. ===Sources for 1=== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodie_Foster "Jodie Foster"], current-link on Wikipedia *[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~battle/celeb/foster.htm "Jodie Foster"], research by Robert Battle *[http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0287711/ "Buddy Foster"] at IMDb, his career from 1967 to 1980 *[http://www.amazon.com/Foster-Child-Biography-Jodie/dp/0525941436 'Foster Child:A Biography of Jodie Foster'], by [her brother] Buddy Foster with Leon Wagener ISBN 0525941436 [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36292888&referer=one_hit worldcat entry] *[http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/articles.html "Jodie Foster Articles and Interviews"], a set of articles clipped by Starling from 1991 to 2002 *[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,287857,00.html "Foster Child"], a review in Entertainment Weekly, [[May 16]], 1997 *[http://www.ciao.co.uk/Jodie_Foster_The_Most_Powerful_Woman_in_Hollywood_Philippa_Kennedy__Review_5471447 "Jodie Foster : The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood], by Philippa Kennedy, a Review *[http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=geolarson2&id=I144459 "An Extended Family"], by George Larson II, geolarson2@gmail.com, updated [[Feb 8]], 2008, hosted at the Ancestry World Tree Project, pedigree-view *[http://www.jodiefoster.nu/media/1990_autopsy.htm "I Really Liked The Autopsy Scene"], by Gerri Hirshey, ''Rolling Stone'', 1991 March ==Lucius Fisher Foster== Lucius Fisher Foster III was born about 1922/3 in Colorado (possibly in Denver), the son of Lucius Foster and his wife Constance Richardson. [http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3041169&id=I0162 This entry] in the Ancestry World Tree claims his parents married in Denver. His mother remarried in 1928/9 to Leslie B Irwin, an investment securities salesman. Robert Battle states that Leslie's middle name was "Bessel". An article in the magazine ''She Australia'' [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/she050198.html excepted here] states that "Lt Col Lucius Fisher Foster III, [was] a former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain Battle of Britain] fighter (this battle fought 10 July 1940 – 31 October 1940), and one of the most highly decorated fliers in the US airforce." This last fact is doubtful and needs firm evidence. Such an event would have been widely published and I'm just not finding that. Jodie Foster is quoted in that article stating that she has only met her father about three times. In 1946, "Lucius Fisher Foster" is shown in the Voter's Registration living at the same Los Angeles address as his mother Constance. In October 1952, Lucius was living in Boise, Idado since he gave this as his home address when he was then returning from Manila. This might have been where he was living, when [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/us050800.html this article] states that Lucius "...already had three kids from a previous marriage. In 1954, he met a pretty young woman named Evelyn "Brandy" Almond at a fencing club and married her impetuously during a trip to Tijuana, Mexico." Lucius and Brandy lived in Los Angeles where they had four children, the youngest of whom was the actress Jodie Foster. They divorced and they each married and divorced other people in the Los Angles area. Buddy Foster states that Lucius and Brandy had split up in 1959, and that Jodie was conceived when their mother went to Lucius to plead for child-support money. Buddy's alledges that Lucius demanded sex for the payment and that is how Jodie was conceived in 1962. When Buddy Foster's book on his sister was released, ''Entertainment Weekly'' did a review dated 1997, in part stating that Lucius was then living, aged 75. Lucius was apparently yet living as late as 2003, when his name appears online in a few comments that he evidently posted to various forums. ===Primary Sources for 2=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1930usfedcen%2c&rank=0&gsfn=Lucius&gsln=Foster&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=35&fh=1&recid=6593144&recoff=1+3 1930 Census of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California] showing : "Leslie B Irvin 30, married first at 29, IL/IL/IL, Salesman, Investment Securities; Constance R Irvin 27, married first at 17, TN/TN/VA; Courteney Foster, step-daughter, 8, CO; Lucius F Foster Jr 7 stepson CO" *[http://www.littlefriends.co.uk/4thfg.php 8th Air Force Fighter Group] : "41-6186 P-47C 334 QP- Crash-landed 29 Jan 43 - Lt.

An article in ''Rolling Stone'' states that Brandy was "...Born in the Bronx to a strict German family, [and] raised in Rockford, Illinois." Jodie Foster, in that same article, speaking of her mother states: "She's an only child, and she doesn't like to be around people that much." Sometime before 1952, she moved to the Los Angeles area. [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/us050800.html This article] states that Lucius "...already had three kids from a previous marriage. In 1954, he met a pretty young woman named Evelyn "Brandy" Almond at a fencing club and married her impetuously during a trip to Tijuana, Mexico." They had four children, all born in Los Angeles County, the oldest being Lucinda Courtney Foster born [[Oct 26]], 1954, and the youngest being the actress Jodie Foster. They divorced, both remarrying other people and then divorcing, in the Los Angeles area. It has been stated that Brandy was a film producer, although it's also possible that she merely worked for a film producer. These connections possibly explain how both Buddy and Jodie became child stars. An article in ''She Australia'' [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/she050198.html excepted here] states that Brandy and her live-in lover Josephine Dominguez "Aunt Jo" brought up the four siblings, and that Alicia Christine Foster was called "Jodie" after her mother's lover "Jo. D." This article is evidently quoting this statement from Buddy Foster's biography of his sister. ===Sources for 3=== *[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~battle/celeb/foster.htm "Jodie Foster"], research by Robert Battle *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=0&f2=&f1=foster&sx=&f9=&f5=&f4=&rg_f3__date=&rs_f3__date=0&f6=&f7=Almond&gskw=&prox=1&db=cabirth1905&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=&gss=rfs&gst=&so=3 California Birth Index 1905-95] showing for father Foster, and mother Almond : "Lucinda Courtney Foster born 26 Oct 1954, Constance Elizabeth Foster born 30 Oct 1955, Lucius F Foster born 12 Jul 1957, Alicia C Foster born 19 Nov 1962."

About 1920 or 1921, possibly in Denver, he married Constance Marie Robertson, a native of Tennessee, whose family had moved to Denver about 1909. By 1926, Lucius and Constance had moved to Chicago. They had two children Courteney and Lucius, but either they divorced or he died by 1929 as she appears in the Los Angeles census in 1930 re-married, with her children listed as her new husband's step-children. ===Sources for 4=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1900usfedcen%2c&rank=0&gsfn=Lucius&gsln=Foster&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=35&fh=4&recid=4920499&recoff=1+3 1900 Census of Denver, Arapahoe County, Colorado] showing : "Alexis C Foster, Head, Apr 1868, 32, married two years TN/TN/TN, Merchant of Credit - Dry Goods, Rents home; Alice F, wife, Apr 1874, 26, married 2 years, mother of 1, 1 living, IL/WI/NY; Lucius F, son, Oct 1898, CO/TN/IL; Claudine Plagman, servant, May 1867, 33, IA/Germany/Germany" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_3871-0327&fn=Lucius&ln=Foster&st=r&ssrc=&pid=2002440054 ''New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957''] showing, arriving on the S S Belgenland, from Boulognes, leaving 12 June 1926, arriving at New York 20 Jun 1926, Lucius Foster, 28, born Denver, Col 30 Oct 1898, resident of 343 S Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL and Constance Marie Foster, 25, born at Paris, Tennessee 28 Aug 1900, resident of 343 S Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL ==Constance Marie Robertson== Constance Robertson was born about 1902/3 in Tennessee, the daughter of Samuel Richard Robertson by his wife Martha Elizabeth Hughes. By about 1909, the family had moved to Denver, Colorado, where they appear in the 1910 Census and where her father was admitted to the bar in 1913. About 1919/21 she married Lucius Foster, probably in Denver, and they had two surviving children: Courtenay and Lucius Jr both born in Colorado. They were probably married by the time of the 1920 census, as she does not appear that year in the household of her parents in Denver. By 1926, she and Lucius are living in Chicago. About 1928/9 she remarried to Leslie B Irvin (1901-78) as his first wife. Leslie was an investment security salesman, born in Illinois. The family appears in the 1930 census in Los Angeles, California. Constance and Leslie were divorced by 1936 when he appears as "single" on a ship manifest. Constance married lastly to a Mr Gerst, he is possible the Louis Gerst who appears living with her in the 1952 Voter Registration Rolls.

They appear in the 1900 Census in Denver where Alexis is a "Merchant of Credit". Alexis became a banker and eventually, he and Alice moved to Ossining, New York in tony Westchester County, where they are listed in the 1930 census, with a house worth then $200,000. Since this was 1930, that house must have been effectively a palace. He is there listed as "Proprietor Investment Bank" and possibly this is the same "U S National Bank of Denver" that he listed as his address in 1925 while returning from England. Alexis Caldwell Foster died in 1945 per his article in ''Who Was Who''. ===Primary Sources for 8=== *[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30188&iid=dvm_LocHist013813-00217-1&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1319%2c2906%2c1490%2c2948%3b1489%2c2903%2c1684%2c2946 ''Ballenger & Richards Denver City Directory 1895''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, with Denver Hdw Mfg Co, rms 229 14th" *[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30192&iid=dvm_LocHist013817-00212-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1466%2c471%2c1635%2c514%3b1634%2c472%2c1831%2c514 ''Ballenger & Richards Denver City Directory 1896''] showing : "Alexis C Foster (Foster, Reynolds & Co), rms Denver Athletic Club" *[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30193&iid=dvm_LocHist013818-00225-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1460%2c2031%2c1628%2c2077%3b1628%2c2028%2c1824%2c2073 ''Ballenger & Richards Denver City Directory 1898''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, mgr credit dept Daniels & Fisher, r 1429 Pennsylvania av." *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1900usfedcen%2c&rank=0&gsfn=Lucius&gsln=Foster&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=35&fh=4&recid=4920499&recoff=1+3 1900 Census of Denver, Arapahoe County, Colorado] showing : "Alexis C Foster, Head, Apr 1868, 32, married two years TN/TN/TN, Merchant of Credit - Dry Goods, Rents home; Alice F, wife, Apr 1874, 26, married 2 years, mother of 1, 1 living, IL/WI/NY; Lucius F, son, Oct 1898, CO/TN/IL; Claudine Plagman, servant, May 1867, 33, IA/Germany/Germany" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1910USCenIndex%2c&rank=0&gsfn=Alexis&gsln=Foster&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=35&fh=0&recid=6595484&recoff=1+3 1910 Census of Denver, Denver County, Colorado] showing : "Alexis C Foster, head, 42, married first time, 12 years ago, TN/AL/TN, banking, bank, owns home; Alice F, wife, 34, married first time, 12 years ago, mother of 4, 3 living, IL/WI/NY, no occupation; Lucius F, son 10, CO/TN/IL; Katherine L, daughter, 8 (or 3 ?), CO/TN/IL; Cynthia B, daughter, 2, CO/TN/IL; Sarah S Beatty, servant, 35, England/Ireland/Ireland, housemaid, private family; Mary S Craig, servant, 42, WI/Scotland/Ireland, nurse, private family" **Note: Living next door is John Foster, 49, TN a physician, probably brother of Alexis *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=1174&iid=USM1490_348-0235&fn=Alexis+Caldwell&ln=Foster&st=r&ssrc=&pid=852455 ''US Passport Applications, 1795-1925''] showing : "Colorado, Denver County" stamped "5 Feb 1917", "Alexis Caldwell Foster, born at Nashville, Tennessee 25 Jul 1867, father Turner J Foster born at Franklin Tenn; resident of Denver, Colorado; occupation: Investment Banking", applying to visit the countries of "Panama, Jamaica, Cuba, for pleasure", intends to leave on the "Heredia, sailing from New Orleans, LA on 14 Feb 1917", signed "31 Jan 1917" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7484&iid=LAT905_62-0421&fn=Alexis&ln=Foster&st=r&ssrc=&pid=1214279] *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_3437-0570&fn=Alexis&ln=Foster&st=r&ssrc=&pid=4029128984 ''New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957''] showing : "On the S S Arcadian, sailing from Bermuda 2 Jan 1924, arriving at New York 4 Jan 1924; Alexis Foster, 55, born 25 Jul 1867 Nashville, Tenn; Alice L Foster, 48, born 19 Apr 1875 Chicago, Ill; Katharine Foster, 17, born 12 Dec 1906 Denver Col; Cynthia Foster, 15, born 10 Apr 1908 Denver Col; Florence Whitehead, 15, born 10 May 1908 Denver Col; all living at 3800 So.
