Jodie Foster is a force to be reckoned with. Not only has she snagged two Academy Awards, but the legendary actress also has three British Academy Film Awards, three Golden Globes and a number of critically acclaimed films under her belt. In fact, just recently, Foster received two Emmy nominations—Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie and Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series—for her role as Detective Elizabeth Danvers in HBO's True Detective: Night Country.
While talking with W Magazine about her recent film, Nyad, the actress revealed that she had a personal tie to the movie. “I knew Bonnie [Stoll] and Diana [Nyad] for years, running into them at Christmas parties and barbecues, and I just loved them,” she said. “I thought they were quirky and interesting. And then Diana’s amazing feat happened—swimming 110 miles from Cuba to Florida. When they approached me with the script, I couldn’t resist.”
