MOVIES - Feb. 13, 1992

A Friend for Oscar: Jodie Foster, in picking up Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding award Tuesday as the group’s 1992 Woman of the Year, said she will put the ceremonial brass pot alongside her Oscar--in the bathroom next to the tub. Hasty Pudding, the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama group, honored Foster, 29, “for confronting important social issues.” Foster’s response: “I feel a responsibility to create human characters for women. . . . It’s amazing how inhuman and object-like women’s roles are. Feminism is the best form of humanism I know.” Hasty Pudding next week honors Michael Douglas as Man of the Year.
