In a dazzling homage to her enduring career and in celebration of her 10th wedding anniversary, the iconic Jodie Foster was honored with the coveted hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre. This storied event took place amid the 15th annual TCM Classic Film Festival, a fitting backdrop for an actress whose contributions to film have captivated audiences for decades.
During the ceremony, Foster’s adoration for her spouse, Alexandra Hedison, was palpable as she expressed her gratitude for Hedison’s presence on their special day. “I love you so much, and I’m so grateful for the life we have together,” Foster affectionately declared. Hedison, in turn, showcased her support by adjusting their anniversary plans for the occasion. Foster recalled to PEOPLE, “I asked her, and she was just like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s okay. We’ll figure it out. That’s okay. We’ll go to dinner.’”
The ceremony brought together friends and admirers, including Jamie Lee Curtis, who described Foster as a “creative force” committed to her craft. Curtis’ intimate speech, laden with personal anecdotes, painted a portrait of Foster as not only a dedicated artist but also a loving wife and mother. “She has many well-earned shiny things recognizing her beautiful work as an artist and as a human,” Curtis said, emphasizing Foster’s intelligence and passion.
For Foster, who grew up a mere 10 blocks from the theater, the honor was an unexpected delight. She reminisced about visiting the area as a child, drawing a profound connection to the legacy she would eventually be part of. “It’s kind of the continuation of a tradition because the film business, for me, is my family,” Foster mused.
Opting for bare feet in the cement, Foster sought to forge a more personal connection with those who would follow in her steps—literally. She explained her choice to ET, “When I came here as a kid, I put my feet up against the cement and…putting your feet up against a high heel, like what’s that? It doesn’t link you to the person [the same] and that’s what I think is beautiful.”
Foster’s work, marked by authenticity and depth, reflects her desire for a “normal” legacy. “I don’t want to be thought about in a rarified way,” she told ET. This principle has guided her career choices, favoring roles that resonate with real life over fantasy, an inclination borne from her own Hollywood upbringing.
