I've never seen any of these films! Yes, Jodie Foster has been able to speak fluent French since she was a teen. She went to a French-language prep school. Check out this video of her speaking French in an informal interview. She starts speaking at about :45.

Jodie Foster spoke French in A Very Long Engagement (2004) and Stop Calling Me Baby! (1977) She spoke Italian in Beach House (1977). Gene Kelly spoke French in The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967), but his voice was dubbed by someone with an authentic French accent.

You're welcome, Lavender. I'm glad that you enjoyed everything. You seem to be genuinely appreciative of everyone's posts and I think that's great.

He obviously saw it because he quoted it before posting his next question. That was incredibly rude.

Jack Pennick?

LOL!

First of all, I want to say, "Congrats, Lavender!" I'll swing by the party and give you my full congratulatory message.

Murder Most Foul?

The Billion Dollar Brain (1967) - The "brain" is a sophisticated computer that is used by an anti-Communist organization. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - A spacecraft's operations are controlled by a computer (HAL 9000).

Your turn, Star.

Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda in Spirits of the Dead (1968)?

9.) After Warner Brothers tried to extend the time on her contract, de Havilland took them to court. She won her case and the "seven-year rule" was put into law.
