A story from New York Upstate shared news that actress Jodie Foster will be coming to Upstate New York, and specifically the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, to accept the 2023 George Eastman Award.

Foster's acting career began when she was just three years old, appearing in a Coppertone commercial in 1965. Her first official acting credit came in 1969, when she appeared in an episode of The Doris Day Show.
From that time on, Foster emerged as one of the prominent leading actresses of a generation. She played prominent roles in such movies as Taxi Driver, The Silence of the Lambs, The Accused, Contact, Panic Room and more.
