She was born Alicia Christian Foster in 1962. And in the last 37 years she has become one of the most revered and powerful filmmakers in not just Hollywood, but the world.

Now known to all as Jodie, she got her start in a simple Coppertone commercial. Since she has starred in over 40 films and tv series, won two Best Actress Oscars, and started her own production company.

She's acted, directed, produced, and just plain edged her way into our hearts. From "Taxi Driver" to "Freaky Friday". And "Bugsy Malone" to "Silence of The Lambs". We've watched Jodie grow up and fallen more and more in love with her each day.

A formidable memory for every generation since her first appearance on "My Three Sons", Jodie's talent has no age boundaries.

We've forgiven her for not accepting the lead role in "Rubyfruit Jungle" and we understood when she walked away from Clarice. We laughed when the producers of the Accused said she wasn't convincing enough. And we were shocked to find out Jonathan Demme originally wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to face off with Hannibal.

Her tenacity has marked her path. Her diligence has earned our respect. And her brillance has amazed us all. We'll never know another like her.
