Jodie Foster considered not "sexy enough"?!


Boy, Hollywood really is too infatuated with overtly sex blonde types. Jodie Foster may not be either, but she's a naturally beautiful woman who has always been attainably attractive and her sexiness is not overt, but subtle. I cannot believe that the director would have any hesitation in casting her... you really have to have the stereotypical supermodel face to get noticed don't you? I bet they wanted someone conventional looking (aka boring) like Kim Basinger. Yikes! I'm glad we got Jodie, because she was a knockout in this film.

Foster comes across as asexual

I dunno. Somehow, no matter how much they doll her up and try to make her into a sex kitten, she still seems at least slightly tomboy-ish. It's in her mannerisms and speech, deeply ingrained.
