Following a widow on her journey across the American Southwest in search of a better life for herself and her young son, ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE (1974) was directed by AFI Life Achievement Award recipient Martin Scorsese, and stars Ellen Burstyn – already an acting titan when she appeared in the film, which was released the same year that Burstyn enrolled in the inaugural class of AFI’s Directing Workshop for Women. AFI Honorary Degree recipient Jodie Foster also appears in the film in a supporting role.
