− | <table><tr><td>Alicia Christian "Jodie" Foster was born | + | <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. | 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. | ||

It is hard for many of these people to maintain their own homes since many only stay here for three to five years. Homes are expensive in this area — the Woodland Hills foreclosure rate is the fifth highest in Southern California. We would suffer a considerable loss of this property if it should be rezoned to R-1. It is close to the freeway and well suited for apartment development."</blockquote> |

They divorced, both remarrying other people and then divorcing, in the Los Angeles area.

These connections possibly explain how both Buddy and Jodie became child stars. |
