Jodie Foster got her first acting gig as a toddler with Coppertone in
1965. This would open her to more opportunities as a child actor who would get her first Oscar nomination at 14.
Jodie Foster was never supposed to be in the Coppertone commercial, but fate struck. The actor revealed in an interview with W magazine that her brother was the one who had auditioned for the ad. She explained, "I was supposed to stay in the car, but my mom thought it was not a good idea to leave a three-year-old in the car, so she brought me in. It was my brother's interview." The moment she walked into the audition room, Foster stole the show with her outgoing personality. She said, "For some reason, they hired me instead of my brother, and I became the Coppertone girl." After landing the commercial, Foster's life changed forever.
