7) Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster started acting at three and got her start in commercials before landing a role in Disney’s Napoleon and Samantha in 1972. By 14 she was playing a teenage prostitute in Taxi Driver and picking up her first Oscar nomination in a performance that could have easily derailed someone so young. Instead she kept her head down and made the leap to adult roles look effortless. She won her first Oscar for The Accused in 1988 and picked up a second for The Silence of the Lambs in 1991. Foster has always been calculated about her choices and built a career that’s been as smart as it has been steady.
