16 september 2024 в 06:13
Jodie Foster has enjoyed an impressive career in Hollywood since childhood, starring in classic Disney films such as the original «Freaky Friday» and «Candle Shoe» in the 1970s. But her career extends far beyond the typical child star — Jodie has won an Oscar for her leading roles in «The Accused» (1989) and «The Silence of the Lambs» (1992), and was nominated for «Taxi Driver» (1977) and «Nell» (1995).
Over time, she has been awarded three Golden Globe Awards, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an Emmy Award, not to mention dozens of other awards and nominations. In 2016, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Recently, she appeared in the fourth season of «True Detective: Night Country», - which aired in January 2024.
In her personal life, she has been married to Alexandra Hedison since 2014. Although the couple is known for their extremely private life, they recently made a rare appearance together on the red carpet at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Although she has retired from acting, Alexandra herself is an actress. She appeared in popular TV series of the 1990s, including «Lois & Clark», - «Silk Stalkings», - «L.A. Firefighters», - and «Melrose Place». Recently, she appeared in several episodes of the series «The L Word» from 2006 to 2009.
In 2024, her short documentary film «Alok» was accepted at Sundance. The couple collaborated on the project, with Jodie serving as an executive producer.
Jodie’s wife is best known for her outstanding work as a fine art photographer. According to her Wikipedia page, her work can be found in private and public art collections around the world, as well as in galleries and museums in various locations in America and Europe. Together, the couple co-chaired the 14th annual gala at the Hammer Museum Garden in Los Angeles in 2017.
In January 2024, Jodie enthusiastically praised her wife’s skills as a photographer in an interview. «I'm very good at writing letters», - Jodie told The Guardian. «And she’s extremely visual. A magnificent photographer».
In 2006, Alexandra showcased another aspect of her creativity by appearing on the A&E reality show «Design for the Blind». According to the Los Angeles Times, the house she designed in the Hollywood Hills was put up for sale for nearly $ 3 million. She reportedly renovated and rebuilt a 4-bedroom boomerang-shaped house from the 1950s and equipped it with various upgrades.
Alexandra and Jodie quietly married in a private ceremony in 2014 after a year of dating. Alexandra joined the blended family, as Jodie has two adult sons from previous relationships with Cydney Bernard, sons Kit and Charles. But Jodie was not Alexandra’s first high-profile romance — she was previously in a long-term relationship with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres from 2000 to 2004.
Although she strongly supports her famous wife’s career, Alexandra rarely appears in public with Jodie. In July 2021, they appeared together at the Cannes Film Festival, and in 2024, they surprised fans by appearing on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony
