Jodie Foster Opens Up About 'Traumatic Moment' Following Reagan Assassination Attempt

Jodie Foster Opens Up About 'Traumatic Moment' Following Reagan Assassination Attempt

HuffPost
Monday, June 24, 2024 10:54:10 AM UTC

Foster recalled a frightening episode that occurred shortly after a stalker attempted to shoot and kill the former president.

Jodie Foster revealed that trauma led to her to shelve doing theater not long after a stalker, John Hinckley Jr., looked to impress her by attempting to assassinate then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Foster — in a conversation with Jodie Comer for Interview Magazine — admitted that she dealt with “so much trauma” when she performed in a Yale University production of “Getting Out” around the time of the shooting.

The assassination attempt wounded Reagan and three others including White House press secretary James Brady, who later died of his injuries.

“The play happened in two weekends, and I did the first weekend, and in between the first weekend and the second weekend, John Hinckley shot the president,” the two-time Oscar winner explained.

She referred to the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt by Hinckley, who was freed from court oversight in 2022, as a “big moment” in her life.
