Susan Sarandon (born October 4, 1946) is an Academy Award-winning American actress.

Biography


Early life

She was born Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City to Phillip Leslie Tomalin (who had Irish, Welsh and English ancestry)* and Italian-born Lenora Marie Criscione. She grew up in a large family of nine children in a strict Catholic family. She was a graduate of Edison High School in 1964, and then attended The Catholic University of America from 1964 to 1968 where she attained a BA in Drama.

Career

In 1969, Susan went to a casting call for the film Joe with her then husband Chris Sarandon; although he did not get a part, she received the major role of the disaffected teen who disappears into the seedy underworld (the film was released in 1970). Susan didn't follow up on the success of that movie, taking roles in lesser films such as Lovin' Molly; it was five more years before she appeared in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a cult classic. That same year, she also played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. Susan was nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for Atlantic City, but was still not a "household name" until the 1988 film Bull Durham.
