Early life and education
Alicia Christian Foster was born on November 19, 1962, in Los Angeles, the youngest child of Evelyn Ella “Brandy” and Lucius Fisher Foster III, a wealthy businessman.
She is of German descent, with some Scots-Irish/Northern Irish heritage. On her father’s side, she is descended from John Alden, who arrived in North America on the Mayflower in 1620.
Her parents’ marriage ended before she was born, and she never established a relationship with her father. She has three older full siblings: Lucinda, Constance, and Lucius, nicknamed “Buddy”, as well as three half-brothers from her father’s earlier marriage.
Following the divorce, Brandy raised the children with her female partner in Los Angeles. She worked as a publicist for film producer Arthur P. Jacobs until focusing on managing the acting careers of Buddy and Jodie.
Although Foster was officially named Alicia, her siblings began calling her “Jodie”, and the name stuck. Foster was a gifted child who learned to read at age three.
For her education, Foster went to the French-language preparatory school Lycée Français de Los Angeles, from which she graduated as valedictorian in 1980. Subsequently, she enrolled at Yale University with a major in African-American literature; she graduated magna cum laude in 1985.
