LITTLE MAN TATE 1991
The story of a child genius and his wary, protective mother — played by Foster — was the actress's directorial debut (her second experience would
be 1995's Home for the Holidays). The reviews were mixed — including
Foster's. ''I look at it now and think, Oh, it's really a first movie,''
she admits. ''[But] it is a first movie, and there's something really
sweet and beautiful about that.''
NELL 1994
Foster starred as a woman who was discovered chirping her own mysterious
language in the North Carolina backwoods. ''It was just a big awakening
experience for me in all sorts of ways, because I developed the
screenplay and produced it and it kept revealing itself as time went
on.''
