It's hard to believe that Jodie Foster has been working since she was three years old. First as as model before moving on to performing on television and eventually the movies. The two-time Oscar winner has revealed that acting was never something she had really wanted to do; it was actually something thrusted upon her. But she was capable and naturally gifted. On screen, she usually displayed a tough exterior, able to face whatever difficult challenges that came her way with fierce determination and sharp intellect. Yet there was also a tender vulnerability that has made Foster endure as one of the most fascinating of screen actors.
Will Leitch and Tim Grierson for Vulture has looked back on Foster's acting career and have ranked her film performances from least impressive to her most outstanding work which includes her latest role in the recently released "The Mauritanian". In this, Foster plays (for the first time) a character based on a real person, defense attorney Nancy Hollander who works at trying to free Mohamedou Ould Salahi (played by Tahar Rahim) who has been held by the U.S. government for years in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp without charge or trial.
And to be clear, this list is not complete as they do not rank most of Foster's film work that was done when she was a child, including her first starring role at the age of ten in the 1972 Walt Disney feature, "Napoleon and Samantha" or the now-cult classic "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" from 1976.
