Jodie Foster, Eugenicist

Few word strings bring Google search hits faster than "Jodie Foster lesbian," (enquiring minds want to know!) but, as I've been pointing out for years, what's more interesting about Foster is her long-standing fascination with alternative forms of conception. It's not just that she spent a long time searching out the perfect sperm donor for her two children - a handsome scientist with a 160 IQ according to Fleet Street -- but that the eugenics theme keeps popping up in her film career, including the name of her production company, Egg Pictures. But nobody else in the media has ever connected the many dots about Foster.

For example, in the middle of the French movie "A Very Long Engagement," Jodie surprisingly pops up in a supporting role, speaking perfect French. It's more than a cameo -- she's onscreen for at least five minutes, has scores of lines, and is excellent. Although European stars often take small roles in American films, it's extremely rare to see the reverse -- especially for a regal, not very hard working near-superstar like Foster, who has appeared in only five American movies over the last decade.

So, why did she take this role? Well, she plays the wife of a soldier during World War I, who is sterile, but is the the step-father of his first wife's four children and step-father of Jodie's child, making him only one child short of the six kids necessary for getting a deferment that will bring him home from the trenches. So, he asks his wife to get impregnated by his best friend. Complications ensue, including two rather explicit coitus scenes, which is probably about two more than Jodie has appeared in in her private life in recent years.
