"Jodie Foster told the New York Times in 1981 she was pursuing studies at Yale University in hopes of acheiving a ""normal life."" However as a student, the actress was followed by stalker John Hinckley Jr. before he attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan as a means to impress her. She would later graduate from Yale with a B.A. in literature and has credited her studies for helping her to develop characters on-screen."
