Indeed ..Hollywood needs to start treating it's great female stars less shabbily and provide them with more strong roles!

She is kind of the last great star of her generation. Studio system...of course completely transcending it all.

The Big Pink Elephant In The Room

Jodie Foster is still not ready to come out as a lesbian, despite being in a relationship with her lover, Cydney Bernard, for almost twenty years.

It’s cool. It’s her choice to come out or not. It’s also a journalist’s responsibility to ask her about it, and we applaud the folks at Entertainment Weekly for going there.

The Brave One star is on the cover of the new EW, and this was the most interesting part of the article.

“There’s only one subject that [Foster] firmly swats away. A recent Out magazine cover featured two models holding up pictures of her and Anderson Cooper’s faces in front of their own, under the headline ‘The Glass Closet: Why Stars Won’t Come Out And Play.’ When asked if she has any response, Foster says, ‘Was that the one with the Popsicle sticks?’ Her thin lips tighten into a calm half smile of reproach: ‘No, I have no response.’”

Bummer.

Jodie’s not going to go to her grave closeted (hopefully).

If Loraine Barr had the courage to come out as a lesbian at 88 years old, then Jodie can do it too. It’s only a matter of time!

Jodie oddly enough has never denied being gay .She lives her life with Cydney pretty openly even giving her 2 boys the hyponated surname Bernard -Foster.I understand that she is very private about her personal life across the board..after all how many people have had a stalker that tried to assasinate a President to impress you?

yeah, my thoughts exactly. i'm sure that really shaped her attitudes towards how much of her life she wants to share with the public.

Yeah, Jodie just seems like an extremely private person that goes way beyond her sexual orientation.

Exactly. She is private - and even if she isn't - coming out is a personal process - I detest all those "why won't they come out" things. Sure, there's the whole "it'll help put this and that face on it" But ultimately it's none of anyone's business if she wants to come out or not

I do respect her and her privacy. She has never been a media whore. I mean - the woman has integrity.

Surprised no one mentioned Taxi Driver. Although some might find that a strange choice...

I'm surprised you didn't notice that several if not at least a few people mentioned it.
