When the Martin Scorsese film needed a body double, Connie Foster, who was 20 and similar in size to her sister, was the obvious choice. Jodie recalled that even though the character, Iris, was involved in adult situations, the actual filming—like unzipping a jacket or showing her shoulders—didn’t feel particularly revealing.
Connie described the experience as more fun than scandalous, comparing it to a playful dress-up session, especially because the vintage costumes made it feel like Halloween. Coming from a family deeply involved in the entertainment world, having siblings working together on set was just a normal family occurrence.
Connie appreciated having her sister nearby, particularly since their brother had also been a child actor. This family support helped her feel grounded while filming a challenging movie that would become a defining moment in her early career.
