- When Jodie Foster, “an actress for 25 of her 28 years,” made Time’s cover in the fall of 1991, she was already an accomplished film star, winning a Best Actress Oscar in 1989 for playing a party girl who was raped in The Accused. She would win a second Oscar three years later for her role in The Silence of the Lambs. The magazine’s focus now was on Foster’s first stint at directing a feature film, Little Man Tate. When asked if she planned to appear in the film, she said, “That is the biggest mistake, unless you’re Woody Allen.”
- Cuando Jodie Foster, “actriz durante 25 de sus 28 años de edad”, apareció en la portada de Time en el otoño de 1991, ya era una consumada estrella cinematográfica, habiendo ganado un Oscar de mejor actriz en 1989 por su actuación como una joven fiestera que es víctima de una violación en The Accused. Foster ganaría un segundo Oscar tres años después por su papel en The Silence of the Lambs. Sin embargo, en aquel momento la revista se concentró en su primera incursión como directora, Little Man Tate. Al preguntarle si planeaba aparecer en la película, contestó: “Es el peor error que puedas cometer, a menos que seas Woody Allen”.
