He currently hosts Larry King Now on Hulu and RT America during the week, and on Thursdays he hosts Politicking with Larry King, a weekly political talk show which airs in the evening on the same two channels.[2] King was born[3][4] in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jennie (Gitlitz), a garment worker who was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, and Aaron Zeiger, a restaurant owner and defense-plant worker who was born in Kolomyia, Ukraine.[5][6][7][8] Both parents were Orthodox Jews.[9] King was educated at Lafayette High School, a public high school in the Brooklyn area of New York City.[10] His father died at 46 of a heart attack[11] and his mother had to go on welfare to support her two sons.

After graduating from high school, he worked to help support his mother and did not go to college or university.[12] From an early age, however, he had wanted to go into radio.[12] more...... Alicia Christian "Jodie" Foster (born November 19, 1962)[1] is an American actor, director and producer who has worked in films and on television. She has often been cited as one of the best actresses of her generation.[2][3]

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, she worked in several primetime television series and starred in children's films. Foster's breakthrough came in Martin Scorsese's controversial Taxi Driver (1976), in which she played a teenage prostitute; the role garnered her a nomination for an Academy Award. Her other critically acclaimed roles as a teenager were in the musical Bugsy Malone(1976) and the thriller The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), and she became a popular teen idol by starring in Disney's Freaky Friday (1976) and Candleshoe (1977). After attending college at Yale, Foster struggled to transition to adult roles until winning widespread critical acclaim for her portrayal of a rape survivor in The Accused (1988), for which she won several awards, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. She won her second Academy Award two years later, when she starred in the sleeper hit The Silence of the Lambs as Clarice Starling, a FBI trainee investigating aserial murder case. Foster made her debut as a film director the same year with the moderately successful Little Man Tate (1991), and founded her own production company, Egg Pictures, in 1992. The company's first production was Nell (1994), in which she also played the title role, gaining another nomination for an Academy Award. Her other films in the 1990s included period drama Sommersby, Western comedy Maverick(1994), science fiction film Contact (1997), and period drama Anna and the King (1999).
