Foster's striking pale-blue eyes were dubbed "the eyes of 1979" by Mademoiselle magazine. In a newspaper interview that year, she said in her opinion, her eyes were not "so distinctive". However, some film and television producers had Foster wear contact lenses to lessen what they considered her eyes' "distractive" effect. Personal life Foster is divorced from Canadian actor Stephen McHattie. She has a son, Christopher.
