“We gotcha Jodie Foster!”
…and proceeded to hand Hunt the drink with the misspelled, mistaken-identity cup.

This isn’t the first time Helen had been mistaken for Jodie.
Reportedly, in 1994 the actress told talk show host David Letterman this sorta thing happened to her before.
“The guy is checking me out, and says, ‘You’re Jodie Foster.’ And I said, ‘I’m actually not, thank you.’ ‘No you are, I know you’re Jodie Foster.’ ‘I’m begging you, I’m not, I’m really not,'”

Besides being actresses (and actual look-alikes), the two actresses have this in common:
- Both started out as child stars
- Both are close in age-52 and 53 years old (seven months apart)
- Both have won Oscars:
- Jodie Foster: Silence of the Lambs
- Helen Hunt…………………………As Good As It Gets
…as does such a story.
