Susan Sarandon - Sultry, Seductive and Funny

In 1980 her status made its point with an Academy Award nomination for her role in Atlantic City. The Witches of Eastwick (1987) with Cher, Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer began a real movement in her acting which launched her to roles in movies like Bull Durham (1988) with Kevin Costner, and A Dry Hot Season (1989) with Marlon Brando and Donald Sutherland.

In the 90’s, Sarandon rocketed with such hits as Earthly Possessions (1999),  where she plays a minister’s wife and becomes a hostage at a robbery. She subsequently learns how her life should be different.

Cradle Will Rock (1999) and The Client (1994) are also great suspense movies. Sarandon’s most remembered movie will be Thelma & Louise (1991), in which an Arkansas waitress and a housewife shoot a rapist and take off in a '66 Thunderbird. A movie classic about friendship and its meaning.

From Sesame Street to Dead Man Walking (1995), Sarandon has made her niche in Hollywood and will always be known as a woman of talent.
