Do you think Kelly McGillis and Jodie Foster were really a couple during The Accused?

Both turned out to be lesbians interestingly. At the time it seemed like a gossip blind item but it could be true now.

(good movie btw, a little soapy with the music but powerful none the less.)

Yes, OP, I think they were a couple.

Whether all that mess with Whitney went down or not, I have no idea.

She thanks McGillis in her Oscar speech but I guess that would be done even if they weren't a couple. The film really was a partnership between the two.

Add Jodie and Julian Sands to that list of odd couples on that other thread. Held hands and everything.

They weren't a couple but had a fling. One or both also had a fling with Whitney Houston which sparker an urban legend rumor.

What was Whitney Houston doing in Vancouver? Concert tour?

On the Marc Maron podcast Jodie says she was a bit out of her mind on that film. She doesn't say it was hard because of Hinckley like people assumed but just that she was kind of crazy during the making of it. (whatever that means.)

The original rumor is that they both did which is why Whitney supposedly went crazy.

I think Hotel New Hampshire was her first film after the Hinkley and she's actually really good in it

R10 - That was a wild film. I think she did a few minor films before that and after Hinkley.

Looks like Hotel New Hampshire was her first theatrical film post-Hinckley. She did some tv movies in between Hotel and Hinckley.

The Accused is such a bad film. It belongs on Lifetime.

Overrated performance…it was MY OSCAR!!!

No, I don't. Perhaps a flirtation, but nothing more. The reason I think that is because Kelly, at 5'10", is positively a heifer (even when thin!) compared to Jodie, who's a relative waif at 5'3". I'm just not seeing it.

Although that doesn't stop a lot of other lesbian relationships (looking at you, Ms. Maddow), I just cannot picture this pairing for Ms. Jodie.

R16 - A lot of lesbian couples have bigger size discrepancies than they do.

G thought she was winning this year. Look how she throws her hands up in the air at r2.

That was a year FULL of great performances (though Melanie? Whatever.)
