Best supporting actress
Taxi Driver, 1976
Age 14
Alicia Christian Foster, who was called “Jodie” by her siblings since childhood, is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime talent who not only held her own against heavyweights Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro, but this screen gem is one of the few child star Oscar nominees to transfer her skills into adulthood. Foster went on to earn two Academy Awards for Best Actress for her roles in The Accused (1988) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
