"People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist."

-Jodie Foster

Happy Tuesday all 🙂 I had no idea that Jodie Foster was an atheist. I've met her... many years ago and I can tell you that she is one smart, cool woman.

People is always surprise to learn that one of us is an atheist. And by the way, I am also smart and cool!?

I wonder why she is surprised? I'm not.

I've always loved her. She is so classy. If I remember she graduated from an Ivy League school with honors.

She did.. yale i think

@Knitfreak yes that was it

She "visited" the VLA again -- of Contact fame -- to record a lovely tribute to this iconic telescope.

I met her briefly while I was first at Meremac Caverns and they filmed the "Tom Sawyer" movie there. She was too young to remember me, but I was on a break and got to watch them do several takes of a scene for the film then. I also met Warren Oates (now deceased) who was in that same movie. In honor of Oates the local drive-in was playing his film "Chandler" at the time. This was around 1973.

As a teenager I had a crush on her but it turned out that we were playing for the same team. 😟 All good, it's not like we were actually going to meet and hit it off anyway. lol

..same here 🙂

It's very hard to be smart and cool without being an Atheist. 🙂

I didn’t know this....! Always loved her as an actress, now even more, and for letting it be known that she is an atheist.

how did you meet her?

at a hospital many years ago... we were both patients and I spent hours chatting with her on a bench outside when we could get around. She's quite a person. Deep thinking, empathetic, caring, curious... I could go on for days.

@Knitfreak I got a sense of that from interviews I have seen. Nice you got to chat

Thank You!
