...caused by an inherited mutation in their genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2, which makes them three to seven times as likely to fall ill. BRCA-related breast cancer is more apt to hit before age 50 and to recur in the second breast.

So is David, since he simply doesn't fit the profile of a Jodie Foster movie. Foster doesn't do straightforward love stories; indeed, she may be the only actress in Hollywood history who has built a two-decade star career without ever playing a traditional romantic lead. (Sommersby was about as close as she got.) It's no surprise that, within...
