Jodie Foster
Aware that child stars are often unable to successfully continue their careers into adulthood, Foster became a full-time student at Yale in fall 1980, and her acting career slowed down in the following five years. She later stated that going to college was "a wonderful time of self-discovery", and changed her thoughts about acting, which she had previously thought was an unintelligent profession, but now realised that "what I really wanted to do was to act and there was nothing stupid about it." She continued making films on her summer vacations, and during her college years appeared in "O'Hara's Wife" (1982), television film "Svengali" (1983), John Irving adaptation "The Hotel New Hampshire" (1984), French film "The Blood of Others" (1984), and period drama "Mesmerized" (1986), which she also co-produced. None of them were however successful, and Foster struggled to find work after graduating in 1985. The neo-noir "Siesta" (1987), in which she appeared in a supporting role, was a failure. "Five Corners" (1987) was a moderate critical success and earned Foster an Independent Spirit Award for her performance as a woman whose sexual assaulter returns to stalk her. In 1988, Foster made her debut as a director with the episode "Do Not Open This Box" for the horror anthology series "Tales from the Darkside", and in August appeared in the coming of age romantic drama "Stealing Home" (1988) opposite Mark Harmon. The film upon release was a critical and commercial failure, with film critic Roger Ebert even "wondering if any movie could possibly be that bad". Although, years later the film found success in television re-runs and DVD release and is hailed as a cult film.
