Jodie Foster<\/a> will be a special guest at the opening ceremony of the 74th Cannes Film Festival<\/a> as the award-winning actress<\/a> is set to receive the Honorary Palme d’Or. The coveted lifetime achievement is the highest award at the festival, given to the best film each year. The likes of Jeanne Moreau, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jane Fonda, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Manoel de Oliveira, Jean-Pierre L\u00e9aud, Agn\u00e8s Varda, and Alain Delon had each earned the honor. The two-time Oscar-winning actress, perhaps best known for her stellar performances in the 1997 psychological thriller The <\/em>Silence of the Lambs<\/em> and the 1988 drama The Accused, <\/em>claims\u00a0a total of seven films (where she starred either on-screen or in the director’s chair) that have screened at the Cannes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCannes is a festival to which I owe so much, it has completely changed my life. Although I had already directed before, <\/span>my first time on the Croisette was a defining moment for me. Showcasing one of my films here has always been a dream of mine<\/span>,\u201d said the film multi-hyphenate<\/a>. Foster first attended Cannes at the age of 13 in 1976 for the grand premiere of Martin Scorsese\u2019s Taxi Driver.<\/em> The film, in which Foster controversially starred opposite Robert DeNiro as a child prostitute, was nominated for four Academy Awards and won the Palme d\u2019Or. <\/span>\u201cI am flattered that Cannes thought of me and I am very honored to be able to share a few words of wisdom or tell an adventure or two with a new generation of filmmakers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJodie Foster has provided us with an amazing gift by coming to celebrate the return of the festival on the Croisette. Her aura is unparalleled: she embodies modernity, the radiant intelligence of independence and the need for freedom,\u201d Cannes president Pierre Lescure said. <\/span>\u201cJodie never ceases to reinvent herself. She questions with her piercing gaze, learns from others, and is willing to step back from her beliefs in order to forge new morals. Do what is fair. An idea that she strives to convey in the decisions she makes as an actress and director, and which makes her so precious during these confusing times. We will honor her with warmth and admiration,\u201d said the festival\u2019s General Delegate, Thierry Fr\u00e9maux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29094,"featured_media":25216,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"\nJodie Foster To Receive Cannes\u2019 Honorary
