Summary
Jodie Foster recalled a humorous behind-the-scenes moment from the set of "Taxi Driver" during the film's 50th anniversary reunion at the Tribeca Festival. She described how director Martin Scorsese and co-star Robert De Niro were unable to stop giggling while trying to explain to her (then a child actress) how to unzip De Niro's pants for a provocative scene. The memory remains vividly "seared" in her memory decades later.
