Character Is A Prostitute
Jodie Foster in Shadows and Fog 1991
Jodie Foster is not only a two-time Oscar winner but has also played a prostitute two times on screen. We already discussed her first Oscar win for “The Accused.” The second time was for the film “Shadows and Fog,” directed by Woody Allen. Jodie did not intentionally seek to play a hooker again. When actors sign on to act in a Woody Allen film, they have no idea what the part is. They receive no script, breakdown, or even the character’s name. They show up on set and find out what they will be playing. Jodie strictly signed on to this film for the opportunity to work with Woody Allen. This role amounted to nothing more than a cameo, as the part was that small.
