Hollywood Beauty Jodie Foster is being slammed by Tinseltown bosses over her new movie about Adolf Hitler’s favorite filmmaker. 

The Silence of the Lambs star is involved with production of the controversial movie about Leni Riefenstahl, now 97. 

British filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman says, "a lot of people in 

Hollywood are horrified at this. 

"Leni used her skills to rouse the German people into going along 

with Hitler." 

Foster says, "I've talked to her on the telephone several times. 

She was a tremendously gifted woman, but made a lot of ugly choices 

at a terrible time in history” – Wenn.
