Foster to get the Globe for lifetime achievement

Isn't it a little too early for Jodie Foster to be awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the next Golden Globe Gala? Perhaps it isn't since she has worked in film for 47 (!) years now, at the age of 50. She is  like the fourth youngest receiver of the award, only Judy Garland got it at the age of 39 (1962), Charlton Heston when he was 43 (1967) and Buddy Adler (producer) - 48 (1958).
Jodie Foster has been awarded two Oscars for best female performance, in "The Accused" in 1988 and "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1995. Now her career has been somewhat replaced by family life, but nevertheless she still appears in films. Her best roles include those in "Taxi Driver" (as a 14-year-old), "Nell," "Maverick," "Contact," "Panic Room," The Brave One" and, most recently, "Carnage" directed by Roman Polanski.
