She looks like she’s 15 in this gif…
frickineh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
She was 16 or 17, so you’re not far off.
nexguy@lemmy.world 2 years ago
No she was 12 when cast and 13 when the film was released.

She was 12 years old when she was in Taxi Driver, her breakout role.

There’s a lot more implication to her reaction when you hear the question she was asked.

It’s become a meme called “lesbian silence” or “gay silence” or something, it’s supposed to represent a moment when a gay person can’t or doesn’t want to openly talk about their sexuality, so they just kinda - stay quiet like she does.

Did not know that was Jodie Foster, seen it a lot on Imgur.

I’m not old I just think it’s kinda funny that a man shot an evil President to woo a teenage lesbian

I have no idea what this is about. Somebody care to explain?

The person who shot Ronald Reagan, their motive was wanting to impress Jodi Foster.

There’s this song by Wall of Voodoo called ‘‘Far Side of Crazy’’, go listen to that a few times then come back and read the rest of the comment.

pretty cool song right?

Anyway, It’s about John Hinckley, a lot of the lyrics were lifted from a sort of manafesto he wrote, he tried to assassinate Ronald Regan, he had a lot of mental health issues, and he watched Taxi Driver, and decided to do what he titular character does in the film by assassinating a politician, it’s not clear if he infestation Jodie Foster was a seperate person from the character she played in the film, but his motivation was to impress her.

Get it? I remember it! I was only 4 or 5 years old, but my parents had the Newshour on every night and listened to NPR too.

Anyone who knows who Hickley was historically, as he was released recently, and there’s video of Regan doing his ‘missed me’ joke at rallies making it’s rounds ever few months, I’d say pretty much anyone with internet or reads the newspaper likely knows.
