Role Call: Jodie Foster

With ''Nim's Island'' in theaters, take a trip through the Oscar-winning actress' impressive and diverse filmography

TAXI DRIVER (1976)

CHARACTER Iris Steensma, child prostitute

IMPERILED? It's not always clear who's the greater danger to Iris: her pimp, Sport (Harvey Keitel), or Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), the obsessive, gun-wielding cabbie who wants to rescue her from prostitution.

EMPOWERED? Brimming with attitude, Iris at least talks tough to both Sport and Travis.
