This episode of the long-running A&E Biography series looks at the life of Susan Sarandon, an actress who has kept audiences entertained by her film and stage appearances for over three decades. Raised in a strict Catholic family, she began a serious acting career at the age of 24 when she was cast in the topical 1970 drama Joe. It was only a short time before she left behind her conservative origins behind to appear in provocative films such as Pretty Baby and The Rocky Horror Picture Show and to begin to display the unique mix of femininity and tough independence that would come to characterize her roles.

Always a vocal supporter of social causes, she has advocated abortion rights, marched against the Gulf War, and most recently protested a police shooting in New York. Many celebrities are interviewed in this profile (including Gore Vidal, Kevin Costner, Natalie Portman, and first husband Chris Sarandon), but interview clips of Sarandon herself are disappointingly scarce, with the producers choosing instead to rely extensively on still photographs. --Jerry Jancarik Jr.
