Jodie Foster says she cried the first time she put on her costume for ‘Taxi Driver’

The Tribeca Film Festival held a 40th anniversary screening of “Taxi Driver” Thursday night, and many of the principals behind the movie were there to talk about it, including director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter Paul Schrader, and stars Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shephard, and Harvey Keitel.

During the talk, Foster, who was 13 at the time of shooting, revealed what she thought of the costumes she had to wear to play Iris, the prostitute Travis Bickle (De Niro) saves at the end of the movie.

“I was mortified,” she told the audience at the Beacon Theater in New York City. “Just the hot pants and the dumb hat and the sunglasses. The first day I met the costume designer and put on the clothes, I cried.”
