Office Home And Student 2010 Activation Key Jodie

[standard9755]

Within a astonishing and moving speech on Tuesday, Jodie Foster, 45, thanked "my beautiful Cydney who sticks with me through all the rotten and the bliss" when she accepted the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the 16th annual Women in Entertainment Power 100 breakfast.
The award is named after the former chief of Paramount Pictures, Sherry Lansing, who told the Associated Press that she was "overwhelmed to be presenting it to Jodie."
The L.A. Daily News reporter covering the event, Greg Hernandez,Office Home And Student 2010 Activation Key, noted surprise "at the public acknowledgment of who I presume is Cydney Bernard, the woman who is widely reported to be her life partner," because Foster has always been "so intensely private."
In her speech, which the Daily News described as "funny and heart-warming," Foster went on to say, "I don't feel very powerful. I feel fragile ... unsure, struggling to figure it all out, trying to get there even though I'm not sure where there is ... I've been working in this business for 42 years and there's no way you can do that and not be as nutty as a fruitcake."
Characterizing herself as a "professional" and a "gentleman," Foster admitted: "I always feel like something of an impostor. I don't know what I'm doing. I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success."
But, she added: "Growing up, there were hardly any women in my professional sphere — there was maybe a script supervisor, the makeup artist and the lady who played my mother. I became the prodigal daughter after I proved myself inside of a family of men."

Foster has steadfastly refused to discuss or publicly acknowledge her relationship with Cydney Bernard, whom she reportedly met on the set of Sommersby in 1993. Although Bernard has accompanied her to premieres and public events outside the United States, Foster has never brought her to public events in America.
But in the last year or so, Foster has seemed to be taking small steps toward making her private life a little bit more public.
In an interview with More magazine in September to promote her recent film The Brave One, the interviewer commented on the Tiffany ring she was wearing, and Foster acknowledged it was "an eternity ring" that she never takes off,Office 2010 Professional Plus 64 Bit, but refused to elaborate further. That same month she used the word "partner" for the first time in an interview, when commenting on her acting career to The Denver Post, saying, “I need to have something that doesn't belong to my mom,Office 2010 Pro Plus Activation, doesn’t belong to my kids, doesn’t belong to my partner.”
When Foster donated funds in July to the newly opened Saban Center for Health and Wellness in Woodland Hills, Calif., she also donated plaques bearing the handprints of her sons, Kit Bernard Foster and Charles Bernard Foster.
"I just wanted to stand for what I stand for," Foster said yesterday. "I wasn't really interested in living someone else's career."
The annual event, co-sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter in conjunction with their annual Power 100 issue honoring powerful women in entertainment, was attended by 640 guests at the Beverly Hills Hotel, with Queen Latifah and John Travolta serving as keynote speakers.
Of Foster's award, Travolta said: "There's no one better suited for this than Jodie. She's powerful, she's talented, she's creative,Office 2007 Pro Plus Product Key, she's got a lot of stamina to get things done. So this is her award, you know?"

Foster's next film, a family adventure titled Nim's Island, will be released in 2008.
Responding to a question from USA Today about whether she's hoping her Nim's Island character will be made into an action figure, Foster replied, "I wear a pretty stupid hat and [my character's] really scared and neurotic. So if neurotic dolls are what's 'in' next year, then I guess that'll be me."
