Jodie Foster, who played the 13 year-old Iris in Taxi Driver, will (a) turn 50 on 11.19.12 and (b) receive a proverbial gold-watch award Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 70th annual Golden Globes on 1.13.13. Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Aida Takla-O’Reilly told Variety that Foster’s “body of accomplishments is fantastic….she’s a fantastic person [and] a veteran because she started early, but she’s not done yet.” She’s not done yet? In other words, she’s closer to the end than the beginning but still plugging? Little Iris eating that jelly, sugar and toast in that diner with Travis Bickle…amazing.
