The creative path of this talented lyceum was not easy and rosy: she constantly experimented, worked on herself and took on almost any image that the directors offered her. It is noteworthy that Susan Sarandon became truly popular, being already an "age" actress. However, this fact did not bother her at all, since only the acting experience that she gained over the years allowed her to look on the screen as realistic and natural as possible. One way or another, but Susan Sarandon played her crown role when she was already over forty. It is not surprising that the viewer first of all saw in the actress an attractive young lady of Balzac age. And not everyone knows that this tall lady with fiery hair and a penetrating look was not at all the standard of American American female beauty. Susan Sarandon also moved away from this status and the fact that on the screen she often appeared in front of the viewer in the form of waitresses, vampire lesbians and women who are overcome by addictions to alcohol and alcohol. However, the actress had a chance to play "highly moral" ladies who were exemplary wives and mothers. What was her path to fame?
Curriculum Vitae
Susan Sarandon was born on October 4, 1946 in a large family in American New York.
The father of the future movie star worked as a television producer. Her mother devoted a lot of time to raising her offspring, and Susan Sarandon in her youth actively helped her with this. Probably, it was this circumstance that began to temper her character, which subsequently became strong-willed and independent, which was traced in the roles played by the red line.
Marriage
Having received a certificate of maturity, the young lady entered the Catholic University of Washington. Soon she meets her future husband Chris Sarandon, who studied acting and dreamed of a career in the movie. In 1967, the girl accepts a marriage proposal from him, and after a few months the young couple travels to New York to take part in the screenings of director John Evildsen, who intends to shoot the film "Joe." Chris is trying hard to grab the role in this film, and Susan Sarandon, whose photo was not yet decorated with American movie posters in the 60s, supports him in this effort.
Samples were successful
However, she also decides to participate in this casting.
As a result, the girl is claimed for one of the main roles. The film - the drama "Joe", the plot of which is based on a confrontation between young informals and supporters of generally accepted values - caused a wide public outcry, and therefore was nominated for an Academy Award in the category "Best Screenplay".
Career goes uphill
After such a debut triumph, Susan began to invite other directors to the shooting. Naturally, she agreed to participate in films, but she was still far from the famous and successful actress. Not all the works of the beginning lyceum were interesting for the viewer.
In the mid-70s, Susan Sarandon plays in the musical Rocky Horror Horror Show, and this work has once again inflated her popularity rating. A few years later, her marriage to Chris bursts at the seams, and the actress gets divorced. Susan Sarandon, whose personal life after breaking up with her husband was by no means rosy, goes headlong to work and begins to collaborate with the French director Louis Male.
Soon he released his film "Atlantic City", where the actress brilliantly reincarnated as the beautiful Sally. For this work, Susan Sarandon was awarded an Academy Award nomination. It is noteworthy that the partners of the actress on the set were eminent Michel Piccoli and Bert Lancaster.
In the second half of the 80s, Susan was again talked about after the release of the popular thriller "The Witches of Eastwick", in which she was approved for the role of Jane Spoford - a woman who teaches children music. Another bright and talented work of the actress is the image of a fan of the baseball team in the movie "Darkham Bulls", which was released in 1988. This role brought Susan popularity again, and she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award. The partner in the above film was the notorious Tim Robbins. It is with this actor that Sarandon regains happiness in his personal life, as genuine passion flares up between them.
Top of creativity
In the 90s, the career of the actress is at its zenith. During this period, Susan Sarandon, whose filmography includes more than 90 roles in the cinema, is more in demand in her profession than ever. In fairness, it should be noted that the actress does not have a special acting education.
Nevertheless, in the last decade of the last century, she is a contender for the most prestigious film awards. For her role in the dramatic film The White Palace (Luis Mandoki, 1990), she is nominated for the Golden Globe, and a year later, for her work in the film Thelma and Louise (Ridley Scott), she is also nominated for the Golden Globe and at the Oscars. Then she brilliantly copes with acting tasks in the film “Lorenzo Oil” (George Miller, 1992) and again becomes a nominee for an Oscar and Golden Globe. In 1995, the actress claims the Oscar, starring in the movie Client (Joel Schumacher), but the award goes to another. Only a year later, Susan will receive the long-awaited figurine for participating in the movie “Dead Man Walks” (Tim Robbins). This work of the ex-wife of the actress raised $ 80 million at the world box office. After that, Susan Sarandon, whose photo adorned the covers of popular glossy magazines in the 90s, was repeatedly nominated for the Golden Globe Award. The reason for this was the participation in the films "Stepmother" (Chris Calambus, 1998) and "Igby goes to the bottom" (Burr Steers, 2002).
Sunset career
With the onset of the 2000s, Susan Sarandon's career, whose filmography includes diverse film roles, gradually began to decline.
Despite the fact that she, as before, is offered a lot to act in films, for the most part these are supporting roles. In addition to this, the directors took into account the already old age of Susan. However, she did not have any complexes about this. “I really want to believe that sixty is like the new forty. And the external beauty, as I see it, largely depends on how old you feel, ”the actress once said.
Recent films have included Films In the Valley of El (Paul Haggis, 2007), Lovely Bones (Peter Jackson, 2009), Sexual Healer (Brian Koppelman, 2009), Wall Street: Money Doesn’t Sleep (Oliver Stone, 2010).
Personal life
The actress also has a rather peculiar personal life. As already mentioned, while still a student, she married with actor Chris Sarandon. In 1979, their family broke up. In 1985, Susan gives birth to a daughter, Eve, whose father is director Franco Amurri. After some time, she falls in love with actor Tim Robbins, whom she is 12 years older. Living in a civil marriage, Susan gives birth to two sons. Moreover, the actress was not at all embarrassed by the fact that Tim was in no hurry to formalize their relationship officially.
For her, civil marriage is a kind of agreement, the terms of which are subject to mandatory compliance, so couples can be happy without a stamp in their passport.
