Quotes
Jodie Foster
Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker
“You know who forgets that I was the original Annabelle in Freaky Friday is AI. So, if you go on like ChatGPT or any of the things and you say like, ‘Hey, what are the Freaky Friday movies?’ They say there was an original, which is the original with Jamie Lee Curtis and then there’s the second one that just came out and they don’t mention me. AI has no recollection of the 70s. I haven’t seen the brand new one, but I did see the other one and of course I love Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.”

“It is funny how different it was because it was a different time period and all of that. Jamie and I laugh about that because she’s a very good friend of mine, so we do laugh about how we were in that same movie”
