Jodie Fosterhas left a major mark on Hollywood over her career, and soon she will leave a literal imprint!

“The truth is Jodie Foster deserves a hand and footprint ceremony solely for her work in 1976 alone – films she made when she was 13 years old –Taxi Driver,Bugsy Malone,Freaky Fridayand The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. You could see her range already,” TCM Classic Film Festival and film critic Ben Mankiewicz said in a statement Tuesday. “Nearly 50 years later, we have an answer to this question: ‘What is a Jodie Foster character?’ The answer is: There is nothing she can’t play.”

The TCL Chinese Theatre opened in 1927 and has seen dozens of stars plant their hands and feet into wet cement in its nearly 100 years-long history. The TCM Classic Film Festival has honored 11 stars with hand and footprint ceremonies outside the theater in recent years, most recently honoring Lily Tomlin (2022), Billy Crystal (2019), Cicely Tyson (2017), Carl and Rob Reiner (2017) and Francis Ford Coppola (2016), per a release.
