<table><tr><td>Alicia Christian "Jodie" Foster was born [[19 Nov]], 1962 in Los Angeles County, California, the youngest daughter of four children born to Lucius Fisher Foster III and his wife Evelyn Ella "Brandy" Almond. Her father, was an Air Force colonel who later became a real-estate agent.  Lucius already had three children with a previous wife when he met Brandy in 1954 and married her impetuously in Tijuana. Lucius and Brandy had been divorced for some time before she was born.  Her brother Buddy explains Jodie's conception as the result of a brief re-encounter between their parents some time after the divorce. Jodie's mother supported the family by working for a film producer, and later in public relations.  Both Jodie's parents briefly married other people.

Evelyn Ella "Brandy" Almond was born about 1927/8 ("age 41" Aug 1969).  Robert Battle reports that Evelyn was born in the Bronx, [[New York]].

Sometime before 1952, she moved to the Los Angeles area, where she met Lucius Foster.  [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/us050800.html This article] states that Lucius "...already had three kids from a previous marriage.  In 1954, he met a pretty young woman named Evelyn "Brandy" Almond at a fencing club and married her impetuously during a trip to Tijuana, Mexico."  They had four children, all born in Los Angeles County, the oldest being Lucinda Courtney Foster born [[Oct 26]], 1954, and the youngest being the actress Jodie Foster.  They divorced, both remarrying other people and then divorcing, in the Los Angeles area.  It has been stated that Brandy was a film producer, although it's also possible that she merely worked for a film producer.  These connections possibly explain how both Buddy and Jodie became child stars.

An article in ''She Australia'' [http://www.geocities.com/jodiefosterph/she050198.html excepted here] states that Brandy and her live-in lover Josephine Dominguez "Aunt Jo" brought up the four siblings, and that Alicia Christine Foster was called "Jodie" after her mother's lover "Jo. D."  This article is evidently quoting this statement from Buddy Foster's biography of his sister.
