Executive summary: Louise in Thelma and Louise Born Susan Tomalin, she had a quiet, boring but happy suburban childhood, Catholic University, where she majored in drama. She became Susan Sarandon when she married a college classmate Chris Sarandon in 1967. They divorced in 1979. She made her film debut in Joe (1970), as a bohemianette fleeing her father, Peter Boyle. After appearing for a few months on Search for Tomorrow, Sarandon landed a key role in the Jack Lemmon-Walter Matthau remake of The Front Page. She starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a dramatization of the play, opposite Barry Bostwick, Tim Curry, and Meat Loaf, but that film flopped on first release. For middle America, she became a movie star when she was featured with Robert Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper (1975).
Sarandon later played the mother of 12-year-old prostitute Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby, and starred with Burt Lancaster in the loners' romance Atlantic City. Both films were directed by Louis Malle, who became Sarandon's lover for several years. In Bull Durham (1988), Sarandon played the baseball groupie, with Kevin Costner as a veteran catcher and a young Tim Robbins as the team's rookie pitcher. Susan Sarandon was Oscar-nominated for Atlantic City, The Client, Lorenzo's Oil, and Thelma & Louise. She won her statuette playing a nun in Dead Man Walking.
Always an outspoken liberal, Sarandon participated in protests against the Vietnam war and in support of civil rights while she was in high school.
