A gangster film utterly unique not just for its inclusion of lavish comedic musical set pieces but for a cast made up entirely of children, BUGSY MALONE (1976) features a young Jodie Foster as a gun moll – though even at the time, she was a veteran among her peers in the cast, having just come off TAXI DRIVER with Martin Scorsese. For her long and legendary career and her “contribution of distinction to the art of the moving image,” Foster is the recipient of an AFI Honorary Degree.
