Foster’s other famous detective turn was her Oscar-winning role as Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs. The Panic Room star who plays cop Liz Danvers in True Detective, was not very appreciative of her character’s personality. Speaking of her negative traits, Foster elaborated on the reasons behind Danvers’ undesirable demeanor.
Why Jodie Foster Dislikes Her True Detective Character

Foster, though, was candid about how she felt about her character, and stated in no uncertain terms that she was undesirable in many ways. In an interview with People, the star referred to Danvers as an ‘ Alaskan Karen’, which is a colloquial reference to a middle-class white woman who believed she was privileged. Laying down other traits, the celebrity also detailed the reasons for why her character behaved this way.
With Season 4 titled Night Country already underway from Jan 14th, audiences will be eager to form their own opinions on Foster’s character in the show and compare their views with the Oscar winner’s divisive take on Liz Danvers.
