Early life edit
Sarandon was born in Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City.[3] She is the eldest of nine children of Lenora Marie (née Criscione 1923–2020)[4][5] and Phillip Leslie Tomalin (1917–1999), an advertising executive, television producer, and one-time nightclub singer. She has four brothers: Phillip Leslie Jr., Terry (an outdoorsman, journalist, and community leader), Timothy, and O'Brian (owner of Building 8 Brewery in Northampton, Mass.); and four sisters: Meredith (or "Merry"), Bonnie Priscilla, Amanda, and Melissa (or "Missy").[6][7] Her father was of English, Irish, and Welsh ancestry.[8] His English ancestors came from Hackney in London and his Welsh ancestors from Bridgend. On her mother's side, she is of Italian descent, with ancestors from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily.[6][9][10] Her father worked for WOR-TV in New York City.[11]
When she was four years old,[11] the Tomalin family moved from New York City to the newly developed Stephenville community, located in the northern area of Raritan (now Edison) Township, New Jersey.[12][13] The family was raised Roman Catholic and she and her sisters attended Saint Francis Grammar School in nearby Metuchen,[11][14][15] while her brothers attended Saint Matthews Grammar School in Edison Township.[16][17] Her mother was a member and board director of the Stephenville Women's Club and the Terra Tova Garden Club.[18][13] The family was also member to the Woodside Swim Club, a private swimming club and park in the Stephenville community,[11] where Sarandon and her sisters won many swimming competitions.[11][19][20][21] Sarandon graduated from Saint Francis Grammar School in 1960.[22]
Sarandon attended Edison High School, a public school located in Edison Township.[23][24][11] In 1962, while still in high school, she joined a band and dance group to entertain sick children at a nearby rehabilitation hospital.[25] As a high school junior, she performed the lead in the play Lady Precious Stream.[11][26] As a senior, she played the title character in the comedy My Sister Eileen, earning mentions in the local newspapers.[27][28] In 1964, Sarandon was inducted into the National Honor Society.[29]
In May 1964, the Tomalin family moved to the newly developed Chandler Hill community, east of Stephenville in Edison.[30][11][31][26] Sarandon graduated from Edison High School in 1964.[32] She attended the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. from 1964 to 1968,[33] earning a Bachelor of Arts in drama, and studying under the drama coach Gilbert V. Hartke.[34] During and shortly after college, she supported herself by emptying bedpans in a hospital,[35] cutting hair, cleaning houses, and working as a switchboard operator.[36]
Career edit

In 1968, Sarandon and her then-husband, Chris Sarandon, appeared on stage at the Wayside Theatre in Middletown, Virginia.[37][38][39] The following year, the couple went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe (1970). Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen who disappears into the seedy underworld. Between 1970 and 1972, she appeared in the soap operas A World Apart and Search for Tomorrow, playing Patrice Kahlman and Sarah Fairbanks, respectively.[26] She appeared in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and also played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper (also 1975), opposite Robert Redford. She was twice directed by Louis Malle, in Pretty Baby (1978) and Atlantic City (1981). The latter earned Sarandon her first Academy Award nomination.[33]
Her most controversial film appearance was in Tony Scott's The Hunger (1983), a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve.[40] She appeared in the comedy-fantasy The Witches of Eastwick (1987) alongside Jack Nicholson, Cher, and Michelle Pfeiffer. However, Sarandon did not become a "household name" until she appeared with Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins in the film Bull Durham (1988), a commercial and critical success.[41] Roger Ebert praised Sarandon's performance in his review for the Chicago Sun-Times: "I don't know who else they could have hired to play Annie Savoy, the Sarandon character who pledges her heart and her body to one player a season, but I doubt if the character would have worked without Sarandon's wonderful performance".[42]
Sarandon was nominated for an Academy Award four more times in the 1990s, as Best Actress as Louise Sawyer in Thelma & Louise (1991), Michaela Odone in Lorenzo's Oil (1992), and Reggie Love in The Client (1994), finally winning in 1995 for Dead Man Walking in which she played Sister Helen Prejean who regularly visits a convicted murderer on death row. Janet Maslin, in The New York Times, wrote of her performance in the last film: "Ms. Sarandon takes the kind of risk she took playing a stubbornly obsessed mother in Lorenzo's Oil. She's commandingly blunt, and she avoids cheapening her performance with the wrong kind of compassion. Her Sister Helen is repelled and alarmed by this man, but she's determined to help him anyway. That's what makes the film so unrelenting."[43] Sarandon was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award in 1994.[44] Additionally, she has received eight Golden Globe nominations, including for White Palace (1990), Stepmom (1998), Igby Goes Down (2002), and Bernard and Doris (2007).[45]
Her other movies include Little Women (1994), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005), and Enchanted (2007). Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, once as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She appeared on Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, Rescue Me, and Mike & Molly.[46]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to two dozen documentary films, many of which dealt with social and political issues. In addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 1999 and 2000, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[47] Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival dedicated to screening films made for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[48]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both films were made in 2007.[49][50] In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of the HBO pilot The Miraculous Year, as Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[51] However, the series was not picked up.[52] In 2012, Sarandon's audiobook performance of Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding was released at Audible.com.[53] Sarandon was the voice actor for the character of Granny Rags, an eccentric and sinister old lady, in the stealth/action video game Dishonored, released in 2012. She appeared in the films Arbitrage (2012), Tammy (2014), and The Meddler (2015). In 2017, Sarandon portrayed Bette Davis in the first season of FX's anthology series Feud.[54] She also appeared in A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)—the sequel to the 2016 film Bad Moms—as the mother of Carla Dunkler.
In 2018, she joined the "Social Impact Advisory Board" of the San Diego International Film Festival.[55] In 2019, she connected with Justin Willman on Magic for Humans as a special guest on the Christmas episode.[56] In Fall 2022, Sarandon starred in the FOX TV drama Monarch.[57]
Political views and activism edit
Sarandon is known for her active support of progressive and left-wing political causes, ranging from donations to organizations such as EMILY's List[58] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental, and economic justice".[59] In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.[60] In 2006, she was one of eight women selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy. The same year, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[61] Sarandon was appointed an FAO Goodwill Ambassador in 2010.[62] She donated fruit trees to the New York City Housing Authority's Jamaica Houses in 2018 in the borough of Queens. Sarandon visited the housing complex in person to help plant the trees.[3] In 2022, she joined as an ambassador to the HALO Trust, a mine clearance organization.[63]
Anti-war activism edit
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against war as a pre-emptive strike.[64] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[65] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[66][67] Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink.[68] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[69]
Presidential politics edit
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for president, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[70] During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader Raiders" who urged Nader to drop out and his voters offer their support for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[71] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[72]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[73] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[74] Bedford, and Dover.[75] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[76] She later endorsed Barack Obama.[77]
In the 2012 U.S. presidential election Sarandon, along with film director Michael Moore, said that they were not thrilled with Obama's performance but hoped he would be re-elected.[78] She said she and the administration haven't been allies. "I wouldn't say the White House has taken me under its wing and made me one of its best buddies," Sarandon said.[79]
In the 2016 United States presidential election, she made public her support for Senator Bernie Sanders.[80] On March 28, 2016, in an interview on All In with Chris Hayes, Sarandon indicated that she and other Sanders supporters might not support Hillary Clinton if Clinton is the Democratic nominee for president. She stated: "You know, some people feel that Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately. If he gets in, then things will really explode." Hayes inquired as to whether it would be dangerous to allow Trump to become president, to which she replied: "If you think that it's pragmatic to shore up the status quo right now, then you're not in touch with the status quo".[81] On October 30, 2016, she endorsed Green Party of the United States presidential candidate Jill Stein.[82]
In an interview with The Guardian published on November 26, 2017, Sarandon said about Hillary Clinton: "I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she were president]".[83]
Civil rights edit
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which explores how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality.[84]
Sarandon and Robbins appeared at the 2000 Shadow Convention in Los Angeles to speak about drug offenders being unduly punished.[85] In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for 2004 Racism Watch, an activist group.[86]
Sarandon has become an advocate to end the death penalty and mass incarceration. She has joined the team of people fighting to save the life of Richard Glossip, a man on death row in Oklahoma.[87] In May 2015, Sarandon launched a campaign with fundraising platform Represent.com to sell T-shirts to help finance the documentary Deep Run, the story of a poor North Carolina teen undergoing a gender transition.[88]
Since 2011 edit
On March 12, 2011, Sarandon spoke before a crowd in Madison, Wisconsin protesting Governor Scott Walker and his Budget Repair Bill.[89] On September 27, 2011, Sarandon spoke to reporters and interested parties at the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City.[90] Her use of the word Nazi to describe Pope Benedict XVI on October 15, 2011, generated complaints from Roman Catholic authorities,[91] and the Anti-Defamation League, which called on Sarandon to apologize.[92] Sarandon brought activist Rosa Clemente to the 75th Golden Globe Awards[93] and participated in a rally against gun violence in June 2018.[94]
On June 28, 2018, Sarandon was arrested during the Women Disobey protests, along with 575 other people, for protesting at the Hart Senate Office Building where a sit-in was being held against Donald Trump's migrant separation policy.[95][96]
On May 27, 2021, Sarandon tweeted in support of the Palestinian people, in her words, "fighting against the apartheid government of Netanyahu", and of the Israeli people "that they too, will enjoy peace". She expressed support for Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid "for having the bravery to stand in solidarity with her people". She also co-signed an open letter criticizing Israel for labeling six Palestinian human rights groups as terror organizations, and quoted Desmond Tutu on the conflict saying that "true peace can ultimately be built only on justice".[97][98] Sarandon was the executive producer for Soufra, a documentary that covered the development of a food truck in the Bourj el Barajneh Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon.[99]
In February 2022, some law enforcement organizations criticized Sarandon for sharing a tweet that described a photo of police officers honoring a killed officer as fascism.[100] She later deleted the tweet and posted a message on Twitter to apologize.[101]
2023 Israel–Hamas war edit
In November 2023, Sarandon spoke out against the Israeli government's actions during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[102] At a pro-Palestinian rally in Union Square on November 17, Sarandon said: "There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence." Four days later, she was dropped as a client by United Talent Agency.[103][104][105] On December 1, Sarandon issued an apology for the phrasing of her comment, saying that "it implies that until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true".[106]
Sarandon contributed to a video series published by the Palestine Festival of Literature in support of South Africa's motion at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in the war.[107]
Personal life edit
While in college, Susan Tomalin met fellow student Chris Sarandon, and the couple married on September 16, 1967.[108] They announced a trial separation in 1975[35] and divorced in 1979,[24] but she retained his surname. From 1977 until 1980, Sarandon had a live-in relationship with director Louis Malle,[109][110] after which she was sporadically involved with musician David Bowie[111] and, briefly, actor Sean Penn.[112]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated Italian filmmaker Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter, Eva Amurri (born March 15, 1985).[113][114] Sarandon and Amurri met on the set of Tempest in 1981, but didn't get together until she returned to Italy to shoot Mussolini and I three years later.[115] In 2017, Sarandon revealed that she had had an affair with British actor Philip Sayer, who she further revealed had been gay.[116]
Beginning in 1988, Sarandon lived with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while they were filming Bull Durham. They have two sons: John "Jack" Henry (born May 15, 1989) and Miles (born May 4, 1992). Sarandon, like Robbins, is a lapsed Catholic,[117][118] and they both share liberal political views. Sarandon and Robbins split in 2009.[119][120]
Following the end of her relationship with Robbins, she soon began a new one with Jonathan Bricklin, son of Malcolm Bricklin. Sarandon and Bricklin helped establish a chain of ping-pong lounges named SPiN. Sarandon is the co-owner of this New York ping-pong club[121] and its Toronto branch SPiN Toronto.[122] Sarandon and Bricklin broke up in 2015.[123]
In 2006, Sarandon and ten relatives, including her son Miles, traveled to the United Kingdom to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[10] Much of the same research and content was featured in the American version of Who Do You Think You Are? She also received the "Ragusani Nel Mondo" prize in 2006; her Sicilian roots are in Ragusa, Italy.[124]
Sarandon identified herself as bisexual, seemingly coming out during a September 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[125] She had also previously told Pride Source in 2017 that her sexuality was "open" and "up for grabs",[116] and on a 2021 episode of the Divorced Not Dead podcast she said of her dating interests "I don't care if it's a man or a woman. I mean, I'm open to all age, all color. And those for me, those things are just details."[126]
