Foster most recently directed Sony Pictures’ “Money Monster,”
a high-stakes thriller starring George Clooney and Julia
Roberts, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival and released in
U.S. theaters next week.
“The star ceremony is something I've always thought of and
dreamed of. I told my children when they asked me 'Why don't you
have a star on Hollywood Boulevard?', I said I was waiting to
have the opportunity to have one as a director and Sony so
nicely - we love Sony - they made my dreams come true,” Foster
said.
“Money Monster” is a thriller about a young man named Kyle (Jack
O’Connell” who holds presenter Lee Gates (Clooney), the host of
a TV financial news show, hostage live on air while he demands
answers about why a company’s stock crashed. Kyle forces Gates
and his producer (Roberts) to investigate the real reason behind
the stock crash that causes him to lose his life savings.
Foster, 53, who started acting as a child and has won two best
actress Oscars for her roles in 1989’s “The Accused” and 1992’s
“The Silence of the Lambs,” turned to directing with films such
as 2011’s “The Beaver” and episodes for Netflix’s “House of
Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.”
The actor-director said that while the Walk of Fame star honored
her long career so far, it is also “support for the for the
exciting things I'm going to do in the future.”
Kristen Stewart, who played Foster’s daughter in 2002’s thriller
“Panic Room,” praised the star, saying "She did everything
young, she kicked Yale's ass, she won Oscars, she became a
filmmaker herself, she created a family and still is just normal
and cool and kind.”
