<p dir="auto">I liked that too…did you see the sequel,<br />
American Boyfriends<br />
? Not nearly as good.<br />
She grew up quickly, wasn't much longer after that she was doing nude scenes in<br />
Cold Comfort<br />
Are you okay?</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, she started learning French at a young.<br />
From wiki:<br />
Foster was a gifted child who learned to read at the age of three.[10][14] She attended the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, a French-language prep school.[14] Her fluency in French has enabled her to act in French films, and she also dubs herself in French-language versions of most of her English-language films.[<br />
I think her brother was referring to time spent in Canada while she was filming. She was far too active making film/TV shows in the USA to live in Canada.</p>

<p dir="auto">She was born in California, maybe spent time there making films and TV shows, but I do think her brother wrote much about her and living in Canada.<br />
She has also lived in France and was very fluent in French from a young age.<br />
'Echoes of a Summer' and 'The Blood of Others' are also among the Canadian films she acted in.<br />
Are you okay?</p>

<p dir="auto">I couldn't find any info on her parents nationality, but says she was raised in Los Angeles by her mom.<br />
I'm only aware of The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane as being Canadian.<br />
Maybe you're confusing her with another actress.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm pretty sure her family were Canadian…and she made a lot of films there in her younger years.<br />
Are you okay?</p>

<p dir="auto">I thought Jodie Foster was raised in L.A.? I've never read anything about her ever living in Canada.</p>
]]></description><link>https://filmglance.com/discuss/post/741783</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://filmglance.com/discuss/post/741783</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[fgadmin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:00:53 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Who are the greatest Canadian actors ever? on Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:00:52 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto"><strong>geewizzz</strong> — <em>4 years ago(September 08, 2021 11:45 AM)</em></p>
<p dir="auto">Nice list…I would've said a few of those and I agree with OP's mention of Ryan Gosling.<br />
I'm not sure if Jodie Foster counts, being that she was born in the US, but I think her family is Canadian and where she mostly lived.<br />
I'd add -<br />
Michael Ontkean<br />
k.d. lang<br />
Christopher Plummer<br />
Francine Racette<br />
Rossif Sutherland<br />
Taylor Kitsch<br />
Ian Tracey<br />
Dayle Haddon<br />
Margaret Langrick<br />
John Wildman<br />
Scott Bairstow<br />
and maybe Stephen Amell and Seth Rogen<br />
Hayden Christensen…depending on the role<br />
Are you okay?</p>

<p dir="auto">that's true. well, i personally think they're all great on my list but a special shout-out to Molly Parker who was Mrs. Garrett in<br />
Deadwood<br />
, Jessica Paré who was Megan Calvet in<br />
Mad Men<br />
(Don's second wife) and Gloria Reuben who was Jeanie Boulet in<br />
ER<br />

<p dir="auto">How about Dan Aykroyd?<br />
Even though he is mostly known for comedy and BB2K sucked, I think he is underrated for small, dramatic roles like he had in Driving Miss Daisy.<br />
And for straight up comedy I like<br />
John Candy<br />
and<br />
Leslie Nielsen.<br />
For more you can go there.<br />
