“It’s F–king Wrong”: Silence Of The Lambs Star Admits One Aspect Of Buffalo Bill Didn’t Age Well

Though Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, is the most memorable character in the film, FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is actually hunting the serial killer Buffalo Bill. She seeks help from the imprisoned Lecter to understand and catch the killer, who is trying to make a “woman suit” out of his victims’ skin. Despite consistently positive reviews over the last thirty years, The Silence of the Lambs has faced criticism for its portrayal of Buffalo Bill, which many consider a harmful representation of transgender people.
