Jodie Foster Honored With New Cement Ceremony on Wedding Anniversary
Jodie Foster is celebrating one of the biggest milestones of her career, and she’s doing it with her wife by her side.
The Silence of the Lambs actress was honored by plastering her hands and feet into the ground before the TCL Chinese Theatre on Friday, April 19, during the 15 annual TMC Classic Film Festival.
Foster, known for acclaimed films, such as The Accused, Nyad, and Contact, received many accolades from friends and other stars. In addition to Foster’s wife, Alexandra Hedison, Foster’s best friend, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest gave heartfelt speeches.
During her speech, Foster mentioned that the ceremony was on her and Hedison’s 10 year anniversary. She thanked Hedison for being “so generous” for “giving up” their special day for the event.
“Like, what are you thinking? How come you didn’t say no? I love you so much, and I’m so grateful for the life we have together,” expressed Foster.
Foster later told 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,” she told the interviewer.
“We had a good day yesterday, so we kind of made it happen yesterday and then we got a whole weekend of fun things to do,” she added.
“I had no idea,” she continued. “I thought it was just something for me, because it meant something to me as a kid, but I didn’t realize it was such a big deal, and all my friends were like, ‘Wait, what? What’s happening?’ So it’s kind of great.”
“It’s kind of like that Kilroy thing we used to do. When we found wet cement somewhere, we’d do the little Kilroy, I was here, and I did,” she recalled. “I mean, I grew up 10 blocks from here, so we came here a lot. We came here, and I put my little feet in the cement, and yeah, it’s kind of the continuation of a tradition because the film business, for me, is my family.”
The Film festival will take place from April 18 through April 21. Foster will introduce the classic 1991 film Silence of the Lambs, which will be screened.
