Yet in some ways, we are not really celebrating the 200th anniversary of our Independence, but rather, the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. And there is a difference, as it took six years of war and negotiations until the final treaties were signed in 1783. All of which serves to demonstrate that achievement takes not only the will, but hard work and effort — often over a long period of time. There is an object lesson here for us all. As Le Lycee begins its second decade here in Los Angeles, we can take the same perspective in our work. We can also look at our graduating class with some pride, for these young men and women have also achieved something rather significant — a Lycee education. These young graduates — as well as our other ongoing students — are revolutionaries in the same sense. Like our forefathers, whether American colonials or French allies, these graduates sense there is something even better ahead; something they can achieve with continued determination, discipline and hard work. We know that they will go from here full of energy and dedication. We know that they will do well; that they will succeed and achieve. They are, after all, graduates of Le Lycee. This same revolutionary spirit is reflected in the good will of our many good friends here in Los Angeles, and this is a fitting time to thank them, not only for their assistance this past year, but for their continuing good wishes over the years. Included are those who have supported our building and scholarship funds, our student fairs and bazaars, our gala fund-raising picnic, our yearbook and dozens of other projects. We are proud to call them friends of Le Lycee for they too are dedicated. And now, with another year behind us, we are eagerly looking forward to the challenges which lie ahead, and hope you will continue to support Le Lycee in this effort. RAYMOND KABBAZ A L ' INTENTION DE MES ELEVES La classe de Seconde-A a choisi pour theme de ce Yearbook le bicen- tenaire des Etats-Unis. Nous avons le plaisir de vivre dans ce pays en 1976 et il est interessant de rappeler 1 ' aide active que la France a apportee a la cause de 1 ' Independance Americaine. Vous me permettrez de citer le Professeur M.J. Hoog , Douglas College, Rutgers University, qui publie les etapes de cette cooperation Franco- Americaine, pour le service de presse et d ' information de l ' Ambassade de France: D£s le 29 Fevrier 1776 Beaumarchais , dans son celebre memoire La paix ou la guerre s ' eerie: Nous devons venir en aide aux Americains ! Cela se concretise sur le plan diplomatique par le contrat secret signe par La Fayette, De Kalb et Silas Deane, Depute du Congr s General Americain. Deux millions de livres constituent le subside secret du Gouvemement Francais, tandis que onze officiers francais sont choisis pour servir dans 1 ' armee americaine. Le plus connu d ' entre eux est le Marquis de La Fayette qui se voit attribuer le grade de Major-General. Cette aide francaise s ' affirme le 6 Fevrier 1778 par 1 ' officialisation de 1 ' Alliance Franco-Americaine au cours de deux entrevues secretes parisiennes: - un traite d ' amitie et de commerce oil les deux pays s 1 accordent le statut de la nation la plus favorisee, - un traite d ' alliance en bonne et due forme. Tels sont les engagements contractus, qui font de la France d£s cette epoque la meilleure alliee de la cause americaine. L ' elan etant donne , le present temoigne par le passe ainsi que nous le rappelle tres gentiment le Comte Philippe de La Fayette, descendant de cet il- lustre famille qui nous accorde le plaisir de sa venue a Los Angeles en tant qu ' ami personnel et invite du Lycee Francais de Los Angeles. Permettez-nous de nous joindre a tous ceux qui s ' associent a ce bicen- tenaire qui s ' av£re des a present une reussite, de souhaiter un heureux anniver- saire 5 ce merveilleux pays, et enfin de dedier ce Yearbook 1976 aux Etats-Unis d ' Amerique et a 1 ' amitie franco-americaine .

Sincerely, u - Mr. Raymond Kabbaz, President Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles 3261 Overland Avenue Los Angeles, California 90034 Di$cour$ d ' u$age a l ' occa$ion de la distribution solennelle des prix juin 1975 Monsieur le President et Madame la Directrice, Chers Collogues, Mesdames, Mesdemoiselles, Messieurs, Chers Eleves, Comme theme de ma tres breve conference j ' ai choisi 1 ' interdepend ance des langues. Et comme illustration: 1 ' influence que le neerlandais a exercee sur le franc ais. Toutes les cultures, tous les peuples et toutes les langues ont toujours emprunte des mots et des tournures a lours voisins et pai ' fois de cultures meme tres lointaines. Le francais, langue romane, est surtout derive du latin classique et du latin populaire. Mais a part cela, le francais a emprunte (et je ne citerai qu ' un seul mot tres connu par langue ehoisie): ■du gaulois ■du celtique moderne ■du grec ■de 1 ' allemand moderne ■de 1 ' anglais ■du provencal • de l ' italien ■de l ' espagnol ■du portugais ■de l ' arabe ■du persan • du russe le mot ambassade ' bijou beurre choucroute nanelle bastille perroquet anchois acajou alcool nacre ' Ijistro D ' un autre cote, l ' anglais a emprunte presque la moitie de son vocabulaire au francais. Et le vocabulaire msse p.e. est compose a raison de 90 c , de mots d ' origine etrangere. Emprunter aux autres est done un phenomene mondial. Rien d ' etonnant done que le neerlandais, voisin septentrional immediat de la langue francaise, ait donne une serie de mots et de tournures au frantjais, comme inversement une longue serie de mots francais sont devenus du neerlandais par adoption. Si le phenomene en restait la, il ne vaudrait pas la peine d ' y consacrer une conference, si breve et si concise soit-elle. Mais 1 ' influence que le neerlandais a exerce sur le francais est d ' une nature beaucoup plus profonde. Le neerlandais est a la base meme du francais et de la France. Prccisons d ' abord que le predecesseur du neerlandais moderne etait le neerlandais medieval, dont le predecesseur etait le neerlandais ancien, que 1 ' on appelle en France le francique, langue germanique et langue maternelle des ancetres des neerlandophones d ' aujourd ' Iiui. Disons-le tout de suite: meme les mots France et francais ne sont pas d ' origine latino, mais remontent au mot franc cc qui veut dire en ancien neerlandais: homme libre . Parce que les Francs sont venus des Pays Bas actuels. Ft Charlemagne parlait encore l ' ancien neerlandais ou francique. Lorsque les ai ' mees franques sont descendues vers le sud, e ' est de ces guerriers libres qu ' est nee la noblesse francaise. Cela ne vous frappe-t-il pas que les nobles 10 francais jusque tres lard dans le Moyen-Age n ' ont porte exclusivemenl que des noms germaniques, c.a.d. ancien neerlandais? Et la longue liste des rois de France jusqu ' a la vraie fin de I ' ancien regime: je ne parlerai meme pai rois merovingiens des premiers siecles de I ' histoire de France, donl personne ne mettra en doute Le caractere germanique de leurs noms; mais aussi les multiples Louis et Charles, les Roberts, Raouls et Hugues, Les Henris e1 les Francoi; , portaient un nom d ' origine francique ou ancien neerlandais. Seules exceptions dans la longue liste: les Philippes (origine grecque) et les Jeans (d ' origine biblique ou hebreue). Aucun roi de I ranee n ' a jamais porte un nom d ' origine latino, il a deuxieme moitie du nom c Charlemagne est latino, mais ne hi i a etc donnee que plusieurs siecles apres sa mort) Ces envahisseurs francs n ' ont jamais forme une majorite en France, meme pas dans le Nord, ou pourtant les enclaves d ' expression francique n ' ont disparu que vers le Xe si cle. Mais ils on( dote la langue francaise d ' une serie de mots dont on n ' est plus conscienl aujourd ' hui qu ' ils sont d ' origine neerlandaise. Et je ne citerai, d ' une longue liste de racines qui appartiennenl encore au francais contemporaln, quo quelques exemples de mots tres connus et d ' origine neerlandaise: - la rose des vents : nord, sud, est, ouest - dos couleurs : blanc, bleu, brun, fauve et gris - les mots de guerre, naturellement : banniere, breehe, eperon, le mot guerre lui-meme, marche, marechal - dos mots de la nature : marais, mare, cresson, esturgeon, groseille, hetre, jardin, morillo, r bouc, caille, chamois, crabe, e ' erevisse, e ' pervier, griffe, hareng, martre - dans le vStement : echarpe, etoffe,feutre, gant - dans la construction : beffroi, bourg, brique, hallo, logo, sallc - manger et boire : beignet, gaufre, biere, chopine, cruche - dos objets de tons les jours : brosse, canif, hache, houe, malle, banc, fauteuil - dans le domaine dos arts : email, harpe - des adjectifs : frais, franc, laid, morne, riche, sale - et des verbes : choisir, danser, dechirer, eblouir, effrayer, epanouir, epargner, epeler, epier, natter, fournir, gacher, gagner, garder, etc., etc-. Mais [ ' influence du francique so constate aussi dans d ' autres domaines que celui des purs mots empruntes. I a losition d ' un mot comme orfevre ne correspond pas au genie de la langue francaise. Cela aurait du etre en bon francais fevre d ' or , fevre (faber) etant I ' ancien mot pour forgeron . La construction de ce mot est purement francique. Et, Monsieur Neuville, vos ancetres ont du vivre dans le nord de la France. S ' ils avaient habite la parti e meridionale de votre pays, votre nom (derive d ' une localite, bien sur) aurait ete Villeneuve. Parcc que dans le Nord de la France, en Suisse et en Belgique on ne trouve que des Neuchatels, NeufchSteaux, Neuvilles, etc. , tandis que les Chateauneufs (du Pape, ou non) et les Villeneuves ne so trouvent presque exclusivement que dans la moitie sud de la France. Et meme des noms de lieux comme Le Havre (le port) et Louvre (la rive) sont purement franciques. Pendant le Moyen-Age et plus tard d ' autres mots neerlandais so sont infiltres dans la langue franchise: - tout d ' abord une soixantaine de mots (rassurez-vous, je ne vais pas les enumerer) relatifs aux choses de la mer; - une autre serie de mots, dont je ne vais choisir que quelques exemples populaires: bivouac, bouquin, boulevard, colza, drogue, etape, houblon, kermesse, mannequin, plaque, vacarme, vilebrequin. Et -u la popularite du Roman de Renard neerlandais au Moyen-Age, le mot renard (qui est un nom propre et signifie pur de coeur ) a ehasse I ' ancien nom francais goupil de cet animal. Tout cc qui- je viens de dire, ne sort pas de ma propre imagination. Yous pouvez le verifier dans n ' importe quel boi naire frrmcai -. ' e dans le Petil I arousse. Et inversement - je l ' ai deja dit - on pourrait etudier toutes les expressions et tous les mots francais qui ont penetre la langue neerlandaise. Cela prouve seulement l ' interdependance des langues, des cultures et des nations. Mes chers ele . : -irtout vous qui avez termine vos etudes au Lycee Franqais, Je vous felicite de vos etudes et de vos reussifc . Mais je vous felicite surtout d ' avoir eu I ' occasion de la faire en plusieurs langues en memo temps. Car Charles Quint (un autre Charles, qui a eu l ' honneur d ' etre ne dans le memo ville que moi, Candi a dit: (in est autant de fois hi ciu ' on conn ait de langues . Je vous remercie do votre attention. 1 I Commencement Address (June 13th) Joost Goossenaerts Consul General of Belgium 12 14 IS lh Mme Raymon McDonald : m I - ■' -- ♦ fB I TmJf kw 1 T ' Ijjt ' m pr  i | MmeJ.L.Mrlj dux on i daughter Vanessa B ■f irilS ' nfi rs.

There is no charge of any kind. Part of a new program inaugurated last Spring, the orchestra will conduct a total of three open rehearsals at Le Lycee in conjunction with local concert dates. The first in this series - held last March - drew more than 200 spectators and music enthusiasts. The November 15th program will in- clude Haydn ' s Symphony 61, Mozart ' s Hoffner ' s Serenade, K-250 and portions of Mozart ' s Concerto for Three Pianos K-242. Please mark this date on your calen- dar now, as it is an exceptional oppor- tunity which the entire family will enjoy. It is requested that students and children under the age of nine not be brought to the rehearsal to allow for the greatest concentration on the part of the orchestra. Another rehearsal -this one scheduled for just students - will be held on Friday, December 5th, with Henri Temianka un- veiling a new piece for the American Bi- centennial celebration. Please insure that all students are in proper uniform for that performance. Lycee Mourns Winfield Passing The entire Lycee family mourned the untimely death of Mr. Leon Winfield in September. A ten-year member of the Lycee Family - and one of the most familiar sights at Le Lycee as far as the students were concerned — Leo (as he was known to his friends) will be sorely missed. A native of Louisiana and a U.S. Army veteran, Leo joined the Lycee in 1964, when the school was still located in Beverly Hills. In speaking for all who know him, Lycee Director Madame Esther Kabbaz noted: Leo was a real part of this school, and contributed his all to helping whenever and wherever he could. We shall dearly miss him, as shall the students and parents who came to know him so well over the years. Among those attending funeral ser- vices were Senator and Mrs. George Luckey, Telly Savalas, Mrs. Julia Luckey de Munoz, Mrs. Annie Johnson, Anthony Johnson as well as faculty and admini- strative representatives. Lycee Be New Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles began its second decade of operations on September 20th, with a record enrollment at both the Overland and Pacific Palisades Campus. We expect 1975-76 to be a very busy and very challenging year of growth at Le Lycee, noted Lycee president Dr. Raymond Kabbaz. We have a very edu- cation-conscious group of students and an equally dedicated staff on hand to teach them. We expect a year of solid educational achievement and growth at the school in the year ahead. Dr. Kabbaz announced that nine new faculty members had joined the school this term, with responsibilities at both the Overland and Pacific Palisades Campus: M. Andre Allain is serving as assistant vice principal, assigned to Le Lycee by the French Ministry of National Educa- tion in Paris. He has a degree in school administration from the University of Paris. M. Alain Anselme has been appointed supervisor. He has a Master ' s Degree in English from the University of Paris. Mrs. Alessandra Scemama is another gins Second Decade in Los Teachers Welcomed to Sc new supervisor at Le Lycee, and has studied in both London and Los Angeles. Mr. Hubert Scemama holds a Master ' s Degree in science and mathematics from the University of Paris, and is teaching these subjects at Le Lycee. Miss Barbara Hunter is teaching prep- aratory and elementary courses and has a Master ' s Degree in English from Hunter College in New York. Another new teacher at the prep- aratory and elementary level is Mrs. Arlene Burdick, with a Master ' s Degree in English from California State Univer- sity, Sacramento. Miss Lee Derenne, serving as physical education from California State Univer- sity, Northridge. Mrs. Madeleine Prochazka joins us from a teaching position at UCLA. She holds a License des Lettres in English from the University of Lyon, and is teaching English at the Overland Campus. Finally, Miss Christina Savalas joins us from New York, and is teaching English at Le Lycee. Miss Savalas holds a BA degree from Mount Holyoke and a Masters from Lesley College, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Angeles; hool Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Diep (Ngoc Diep means Jade Butterfly in Vietnamese) is assisting in the Kindergarten at Le Lycee. A native of Saigon, and a graduate of the University of Saigon (psychology and education), she served as director of an 800-student private school in Saigon until she evacuated on April 24th. She also joined the Lycee staff in September. News From Here and There. Le Lycee is pleased to welcome two new consular officials to the City of The Angels. M. Michel Rougagnou has been named Consul General de France and M. Christian Tual has been named Cul- tural Attache. Prior to his Los Angeles assignment, the Consul General served in the National Defense Cabinet, and before that, was press attache to the late president Pompidou. M. Tual comes to Los Angeles from Peking, the Peoples Republic of China, where he also served as Cul- tural Attache. Looking for a year-end adventure? Air France and Le Lycee are offering a special package for a major exhibition of American Painters which opens on December 15th in Paris. Week-long tours are being offered from Los Angeles — one leaving December 13th and one leaving January 10th. The exhibit, opening at the new Centre International de Paris at Porte Maillot, marks the beginning of the Parisian Celebration of the American Bicentennial. Included in the package is round trip jet fare, room with breakfast at the Concorde-Lafayette Hotel, unlimited ad- mission to leading Paris museums and galleries, airport transfers and sight- seeing. The cost is $738 for adults and $535 for children aged 2-12. Interested Friends of Le Lycee should contact the registrar for details and reservations. The Lycee Student Association has elected new officers for the 1975-76 school year. New president is Misun Cho, while Debbie Katz will serve as vice presi- dent. Joel Wallenstein was named treas- surer and Monique Feaster elected secre- tary. Finally, Le Lycee is planning to hold a major party in the Spring of 1976, and volunteers are now being solicited to serve on the various committees which will be necessary. If you would like to volunteer, please call the school and leave your name. Los Angeles City Councilman John Ferraro was honored by Le Lycee in June, when he was named 1975 recipient of the annual Distinguished Service Award at commencement ceremonies. Ferraro has been a long-time sup- porter of Le Lycee, and the recognition honored years of effort on the school ' s behalf. The award was presented by Lycee president, Dr. Raymond Kabbaz. Councilman Ferraro has provided considerable and real moral support over the years, noted Kabbaz, even though we are not within his councilmanic dis- trict. He has proven to be a valuable friend to the Lycee, and we have long felt that that service should be properly recognized.

' Lycee plans school Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles will open a nursery school at its Pacific Palisades campus in September, according to Lycee president , Dr. Raymond Kabbaz. The facility will serve as an alternative environment for working parents with children aged 2 ' 2-5, and will feature a total immersion program in French. The Lycee also conducts first, second and third grade classes at the Marquez Avenue campus. The preschool child has a natural capacity for language, said Kabbaz, and it is just as easy to learn two languages at that age as it is to learn just one. We strongly believe that the children can greatly benefit from a preschool program that en- compasses learning as well as fun. From the standpoint of the working parent, it would seem to be far more preferable than the perennial babysitter. Modifications are being made to the Lycee facility at 16720 Marquez Avenue in anticipation of the September 22nd opening, and state licensing is now in process. The nursery school schedule will parallel that of both the regular Lycee and the public . schools. Supervision of the nursery school will be under the direction of the Lycee teaching staff, in- cluding the language program. A separate director for the nursery program will be named shortly. A number of options will be available, depending upon the working situation of the parents involved. Basic choices will include a morning session, an afternoon session, and a full day session, with the school nnm from 8 a.m. until (■p.m. open ■I I cie ycee (Frartpais de %qsjftngeles V2h ( hrrlami Avenue Ins Angeles.

In English class I had to write an opinion on having my life planned, and it was sugges- ted that I read a certain book. I enjoyed reading all about America and the freedoms we have as citizens. But, I couldn ' t quite figure out what these freedoms had to do with having my life planned. Then, I came to the part on Communism and that is what changed my thinking. I learned that in some countries the government runs the lives of the people, and have complete control over them. They cannot say the things they want. They cannot own property, but everything belongs to the government. They can only read about the things the government wants printed in books and newspapers. The government even chooses their careers for them. I began thinking about my rights and freedom as an American citizen. Slowly, I began to realize what the Bill of Rights means to me. The Bill of Rights means that I can choose whatever career I want, and can speak openly without fear. I can read any newspaper or book and get different opinions. I can worship in any church, and own as much property as I can afford. When 1 grow up I can vote for the candidate I think best, and can even run for President. I am protected by the government against slavery and unusual punishment, and en- titled to a fair trial. My rights are all written in the Constitution. Now I know that the Bill of Rights means freedom, liberty and happiness to me. This freedom and these rights belong to all Americans. I must remember to practice 95 giving to others the same freedom I keep for myself.

Some of the students had only experienced a small amount of drama, and then, in the confines of the class. Here they found themselves in a large auditorium with two other senior high schools and they were expected to perform. Sister Judith Royer and her assistants had planned the morning ' s activities knowing the stage fright and self consciousness the students would feel and proceeded to ease everyone into group activities dealing with pantomime, im- provisation and dialogue. Her method consisted of group warm-ups where the students played toss ball with one another, first with an actual ball and then with an imaginary one. This helped to break the ice. The students worked on building machines by having one student from each group begin a pantomimed activity and the others joining in to help form parts of the machine . Pictured below is Ms. Baehr working with some of the Lycee students forming a pinball machine . i. J [ ' Each group would experiment with the different routines in their own space and then the entire group would come together for a performance of each group ' s best routine. The difficulty of sitting in between two people talking at once provides an exercise in concentration and also, much fun.

The wise man who made that statement was simply reminding us that a person ' s real identity is in his or her individuality. The great men and women of history — in every field — were those who had the courage to be different. They were the ones who refused to go along with all the others. They dared to be original, and their originality made them the leaders, not the followers. It is a sad fact that modern society encourages conformity. Even worse, it DEMANDS that we conform! In politics, voters feel safer with a man who protects the status quo — a politician who doesn ' t try to make waves . In business, executives feel less threatened by workers who don ' t challenge them with new ideas. The executives claim that they want suggestions from the employees — but they get upset if the suggestions are too radical. In schools, the children who don ' t go along with all the others are the ones who are considered troublesome. The child who insists on adding a touch of individuality to his work is usually punished for daring to be different. Instead of encouraging the child, teachers often discourage him. Why? Because he ' s easier to control. After all, a society of followers causes less confusion than a society of free-thinkers. The U.S. Constitution protects our right to think and act as individuals — but our government and our community leaders do everything possible to reduce us to nonenities, numbers in a com- puter, a generation of yes-men. Only a few years ago, some brave individuals dared to protest against the Vietnam war. They stood up and dared to say in public that America might have made a mistake, that we would do well to end our involvement in Indo-China. What happened? They were called traitors and communist-sympathizers and kooks! In some cases, the government had them investigated as suspicious characters. Some faculty-members in State colleges even lost their jobs! But they continued to protest until others joined their campaign. Today, most of the country is voicing the same protests that those kooks suffered for. It had even become politically expedient to object to the Vietnam war. These objections — started by so-called traitors and communist- sympathizers and kooks — have forced our government to change its policies in Vietnam. When long hair became fashionable with young men and boys, they had trouble getting jobs because of it. They were expected to cut their hair and look like everyone else. Anyone with short hair was never questioned — but if you were under 30 and had long hair, you were sus- pected of being a hippie or a radical or a trouble-maker. In the midwest, there were cars decorated with bumper-stickers that said, Be a Good American — Get a Haircut! They were implying that patriotism is measured by the length of your hair! This is a form of discrimina- tion that should be declared illegal. . . just as ANY type of discrimination should be illegal. Conformity, then, is based on insecurity. Unfortunately, it is human nature to suspect out- siders or anyone who is different. That is why foreigners have trouble being assimilated into the American community — even though America is a nation of foreigners. That is why Galileo was sentenced to death for daring to insist that the world was round. It ' s just human nature. By the same token, it is also human nature to express one ' s originality — to be creative — to be individuals! It is always the innovators — the creative people — the original thinkers — who start the trends, introduce new ideas, and then lead the followers to better lives. That is, they ' ll do it if their followers don ' t kill them for daring to be different. There is a terrible danger in non-conformity, however. To be different just for the sake of being different is hypocrisy, and just plain inane. Sometimes the desire to be different can turn non- conformists into conformists. For instance, nowadays there are so many young men wearing long hair (to prove they are Free Thinkers) that their hair style has almost become like a uniform. These innovators are trapped by their own innovations. They are conforming to the Establishment of the Young. . . instead of conforming to the Establishment of Older People. In other words, they ' re choosing up sides — saying, in effect, My group of conformists is better than YOUR group of conformists! This is a foolish, self-defeating way to think. The only way the modern world can solve its problems is to permit new ideas to exist — to flourish — to grow. Our leaders, so far, have led us to the brink of disaster. It ' s time to encourage new leaders to step forward — with new ideas — new values — and open minds. If conformity becomes a way of life, there ' s really very little point in living. If the human race becomes a nation of robots — all wearing the same uniforms, thinking the same thoughts, marching toward oblivion — who will have the courage and the initiative to tell them to stop? And if no one dares to step out-of-line and tell them to stop -- well, then, oblivion is the ultimate goal. h T _ +.

In her childhood fan- tasies she sat in Paris cafes at the turn ol the century, drinking absinthe with Picasso and Degas At a precocious age lie persuaded her parents to let hei at tend Le Lsccc.Fiam.ais, a kindeigaiU ■■. . : 1 ■■. ii where the instruction was m French and where Christie spent her lunch hours drawing lor the youngest children. Lat- er, at the University uf California at Los Angeles, she took art couises, which she found more restrictive than creative (I gave up in anatomy, she sass; I didn ' t want to have the arm on the right was ). Finally, three years ago, she stopped de- las mg sshat she kness was an inevitable nunc, it ssas time to go to Paris. There several things happened to Christie. She became a model I in a sti aighi-h om-ihcmovics discovery bs a pllologi aphei , see liei on pages 7b and 7S ol this issue, as well as on the COvei I. she met her Inline husband, also an art- ist i m a classic, straight-from-the-movies ' rescue from some lecherous men at a cafe) and she watched the evolution ol her art Hers is a stsle not easils char- acterized I he relationships between men and women in drawings such as the one abose aie reminiscent ol James Thurber, but some of her women have round Rubens laces and some cso-kc Toulouse-Lautrec ' s habitues ol the Won (in Rouge The homing-pigeon instinct that drew Christie to Pai is ssas the same that look Man Cassatt there more than 100 years ago. Cassatt ssas often called America ' s greatest woman painlei , she left her wealth) Philadelphia family and became one of the leaders ol the as ant-garde impressionist school in Paris. Her tal- ents were much more appreciated in France than in her own country, where the sexism of the 19th century extended to the arts and women artists were thought to be rebellious and eccentric. But in Paris everyone ssas eccentric. Only a handful of women artists work- ing at that tune developed enduring rep- utations, but these days there are more than a token few in the arts. Last year, in Cassatt ' s osvn Philadelphia, there was a gathering of 100 artists, art historians and curators in an exposition called FOCUS- Philadelphia Focuses On Wom- en in the Visual Arts — whose purpose was to tell the story of the woman artist, her struggles and her victories, a cele- bration of svhat women base accom- plished in art and a harbinger ol what they will achieve in years to come. A few women are already undisputed trend setters: Louise Nevelson, Amer- ica ' s grande dame of modern sculpture; Judy Chicago, founder of the Feminist Studio Workshop; and Helen Franken- thaler. (Twenty years ago a critic said, Helen ' s paintings look as if she did them between the cocktail hour and din- ner. Today that critic would pay dearly for those svords— and for Frankenthaler ' s work.) Of course, art is not exclusively svhat is put onto canvas or molded in clay, and the musical arts also are pro- claiming vibrant women. Beverly Sills is a household name to millions who used to think opera was a foreign word and Sarah Caldsvell built the Opera Com- pany of Boston while Boston resisted her almost every step of the way. (When asked about her unusual methods to bring great music to people svho really didn ' t svant it at all, Caldwell said she decided that if green toothpaste could be accepted in this country, the same techniques could be applied to opera.) And there is a newly formed League of Woman Composers, which is fighting the old cliche There is no great woman com- poser or great woman chef. Women are invading the arts, ami Christie Brinkley, svho now lives ami paints in Nesv York City, wonders svhat contributions they will make. We all base different impressions of different parts of hie. she says, and artists al- ways create from the different parts of their lives. Pei haps women have an image of humanity that men have not been able to perceive in all the years they ' ve dominated the world ol art. We ' ll see. — ALB. THE MAGAZINE FOR YOUNG WOMEN • VOL. 146 NO. 5 MOVIE CALL SHEET Jodie Foster — 13 Going on 30 138 BY MARY MURPHY Times Staff Writer Irises a 12-year-old prostitute, a tough-as-nails street kid in New York who walks her beat in 6-inch plat- forms, satin hot pants and floppy white hat. She has long since given up thinking of sex as anything more than a 15-minute stand. In just a short time on screen, in a film propelled by an impending sense of doom, Jodie Foster takes the char- acter of Iris and creates an angel- faced innocent with a core of steel. I used to be just like any other kid, says Jodie contemplatively. I thought acting was just reading lines — OK, do it. It was a hobby. But I felt so good after seeing myself in Taxi Driver ' that I no longer want to be President of the United States. I want to become a serious actress. Jodie sits in the living room of her Los Angeles home, giving polite and thoughtful answers to questions which have been asked hundreds of times in the last month. Her agent- mother Brandy, an ex-publicist, sits across the room, monitoring the co versa tion. Jody is 13, going on 30, with defin- ite and self-assured opinions on ev- erything from prostitution— It should be legalized even though everybody thinks it ' s wrong — to Richard Nixon — He helped America realize that there is dishonesty and cor- ruption in the White House. He opened our eyes and made us aware. By her own admission, Jodie is intellectually an adult but emotionally a child — I ' m embarrassed to say we still spit water at the boys in our class at Lycee Francais. She is a film veteran with 10 feature credits including Tom Sawyer and Napoleon and Samantha and two televi- sion series, Mayberry RFD and Paper Moon. She has three films coming out this year and recently signed a two-picture contract with Walt Disney. Jodie began to transform her screen image — from child to teen-ager — when she took a role as Alfred Let- ter ' s wine-guzzling girlfriend in Alice Doesn ' t Live Here Anymore. But she ran up against a barrier. Because of }ter low Lauren Bacall voice and closely cropped hair, thanks to the hairstylist on Paper Moon, audiences could- n ' t figure out whether her character was a boy or a girl. I thought I looked like a girl but Marty was really up- set by my haircut. He kept saying, ' What did they do to .you? ' Marty, who is Martin Scorsese, the director of Alice and the sweetest man alive, according to Jodie ' s mother, directed Taxi Driver. When my mother read the script, she said forget it, call me in seven years. I said nooooo way, what are my friends gonna say — ' hey Jodie, you kissed Harvey Keitel. ' But then Mom said you have to trust people some time, and since Marty is so wonderful, well, we knew it was going to be done creatively and with taste. The Los Angeles Welfare Board, which has the respon- sibility for monitoring the moral and physical welfare of youngsters on screen, wasn ' t so sure of Scorsese ' s taste, however. After a long legal hassle in which Jodie ' s inter- ests were represented by California ex-Gov. Edmund G. Brown, the board decided that a scene in which Jodie was supposed to unbutton her blouse while facing the camera FILM ROLE-Jodie Foster as prostitute Iris in Taxi Driver. REAL LIFE -The real Jodie, Fos- ter outside her L.A. home. Times photo was to be cut and that she would be replaced in sexually explicit scenes by a double — who turned out to be her 21- year-old sister, Connie. We did a scene with Connie un- zipping Bobby De Niro ' s fly but then we didn ' t use it. In fact we cut all of Connie ' s scenes. If you look closely, Jo- die never touches Bobby, said tne film ' s producer, Mi- chael Phillips. After they said I could do the film they made me go to a UCLA psychiatrist for four hours, said Jodie. It was: fun; he asked me things like do I like my friends, what, kind of food do I eat. Do I go to movies. (Her favorite films, she says, are Lenny, Day for Night, Cinderella. Liberty, Young Frankenstein and Man of La Mancha. ) ' ' The film basically went right over her head, said screenwriter Paul Schrader. And how does Jodie feel about that? I thought the violence was fun. It was my favorite part. I know it brought the film down a little bit but I think it helped my acting. If I had seen the film first I would have been shocked. The only thing that bothered me was the smell of blood. Although Brandy Foster insists she is not a stage mother, in fact the term upsets me, she devotes her full time to the careers of Jodie and her brother Buddy, 18. I think it is wonderful for children to have this kind of dis- cipline and to be in contact with adults and to work hard. Comments Jodie: ' The good thing about it is that when I grow up I will really be grown up because I ' ve been around a lot. Unlike her major competition, Tatum O ' Neal, Jodie does not go to Hollywood parties or even to her eighth-grade friends ' kissing parties — It ' s stupid, she says. Tatum, she says, is a nice person. I think things are kind of hard for her, though, having a father in the busi- ness. When asked if she would like to costar in a film with Tatum, Jodie gave her most enthusiastically child-like re- sponse: Gee, she said, that sounds neat. has spared me from being a regulai e eryday kid slob Or even from being a regular everyday kid-slob actress. Jodie is neither a button-nosed naif like the young I lay lev Mills, nor hard- edged precocious, like I atum O ' Neal ( ] think she is very good, but we are dif- ferent characters ). She does not date, or attend Hollywood functions. She is disarmingly unconcerned about money Aside from the $1,600 in a savings ac- count from her dollar-a-week allowance, a few bets and liars ' poker with the movie crews, she has no idea how much her manager-mother has stashed away After all, says Jodie. I ' m just a kid She is hoping, however, that Taxi Driver will bring her more adult parts Says she: The only place I draw the line is nudity. Then, forgetting what the role of Iris was all about, she adds Anyway, no one would want to see a 13- year-old take off her clothes. Some day, she says, she intends to play Othello, no less. Coming from Jodie Foster, that is no teeny-bopper fantasy. JODIE FOSTER IN SCHOOL UNIFORM IN UNIFORM FOR TAXI DRIVER Hooker Hooked When she was just a child of elev- en, her ambition was to be a lawyer and. perhaps. President of the U.S. Now a self-assured 13. Jodie Foster wants in- stead to be a very good actress. a goal for which she is almost frighteningly well endowed. What hooked her on act- ing as a career was the movie Taxi Driv- er (Time. Feb. 16). a florid melodrama of Manhattan ' s streets that is mostly memorable for Jodie ' s portrayal, as to the bordello born, of the trick-wise twelve-year-old whore. A sheltered, studious Los Angeles tomboy, diminutive (5 ft.) Jodie had lit- tle empathy for the role. Her previous parts in movies and TV. notably Becky Thatcher in Tom Sawyer, had been more conventional For me it was just a part. says Jodie I never feel like the people I ' m playing. That may help to explain why her performance escapes the usual prostitute stereotypes. Jodie, however, gives credit to Director Mar- tin Scorsese Says she: Before, I would never listen to the directors — they al- ways wanted you to act the same way Rut with Maity I saw acting as some- thing creative. Scorsese first met Jodie at a 1974 au- dition In came this little girl with a Lauren Bacall voice. he recalls. She cracked us up When he sent her the script, says Jixlie. 1 thought this was a great part for a 21 -year-old I couldn ' t believe they were offering it to me. Nor could the Los Angeles welfare hoard, which is charged with the moral chaperonage of young performers Af- TIME. FEBRUARY 23. 1976 ter a long legal hassle, it was agreed that Jodie would be replaced in the more sex- ually explicit scenes by a double — ac- tually her own 20-year-old sister. Con- nie. Then Jodie underwent a four-hour session with a UCLA, psychiatrist who had to rule on her mental stability. Says she: I suppose they figured that if I was willing to play a part like that. I had to be insane. To prepare for the role, she got into Iris satin hot pants and six- inch platforms and spent a month of her summer vacation walking a beat on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. She was not picked up. I couldn ' t believe how she looked in her wardrobe, says her mother. Brandy Foster, a former Hol- lywood pressagent. Suddenly she had legs. 1 don ' t think I ' d ever seen her with her hair curled. I was very happy when she returned to her grubby little self. For Jodie, returning to herself meant to the gray-skirted school uniform of the rigorous Lyeee I rancais, where she gets straight As. She and her mother, who divorced Jodie ' s father when Jodie was nine months old. share a modest house overlooking the Hollywood Bowl. Since her debut on the television series May- berry R.F.D.. Jodie brightened the short- lived Paper Moon on TV and has made a total of ten movies, including the yet 10 be released Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, portraying a teeny-bop- per killer; Bugsey Malone, an all-child musical; and Echoes of a Summer, with Richard Harris. Has she missed having a conven- tional childhood ' ' No, says Jodie I ' ve got something extra. I know how to talk to adults and make a decision.
