Trivia Taxi Driver

Robert De Niro worked fifteen hour days for a month driving cabs as preparation for this role. He also studied mental illness. Jodie Foster was 12 years old when the movie was filmed, so she could not do the more explicit scenes (her character was also 12 years old). Connie Foster, Jodie's older sister who was 19 when the film was produced, was cast as her body double for those scenes. Paul Schrader wrote the script of 'Taxi Driver' in ten days via two drafts, one after the other. As he was writing, he kept a loaded gun on his desk for motivation and inspiration.
