Susan Sarandon

Sarandon and Robbins are also noted for their involvement in liberal political causes. After her death, biographies began to report these rumors as fact, with several sources who had known both Stanwyck and Taylor willing to go on record and verify these claims. Sarandon has three children: actress Eva Amurri (born 1985) by Franco Amurri; and John Henry (born 1989) and Miles (born 1992) by Robbins. During her life, Stanwyck was the subject of rumor that she was a lesbian, and that her marriage to the actor Robert Taylor was a "lavender marriage", designed to conceal the fact that both were homosexual. Her recent movies include Stepmom (1998), Anywhere But Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999) (portraying Mussolini's mistress), and The Banger Sisters (2002). Her last starring role was in 1985, in The Colbys. Sarandon received four Academy Award nominations in the 1990s, finally winning in 1996 for Dead Man Walking. In her later years, she also starred in television, notably in the 1960s Western series, The Big Valley.

It was while filming that movie that she met actor Tim Robbins, with whom she established a relationship that continues to this day (as of 2004). She received an Academy Honorary Award "for superlative creativity and unique contribution to the art of screen acting" in 1982. She was nominated for an Oscar in 1980 for Atlantic City, but was still not a "household name" until the 1988 film Bull Durham. Stanwyck starred in almost a hundred films during her career and received four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress: Stella Dallas (1937), Ball of Fire (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). That same year, she also played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. The play starred a British actress named Joan Stanwyck. She did not 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, the cult classic. She took her stage name from the name of a play, "Barbara Frietchie", about a fictional Civil War heroine.

In 1970 she went to a cattle call for the film Joe with Chris and, although he did not get a part, Susan received the major role of the disaffected teen who disappears into the seedy underworld. She was born in New York City, and her mother died when she was only four. Born Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York, New York, she attended The Catholic University of America in 1964, where she met and married fellow student Chris Sarandon, whom she would divorce fifteen years later while still retaining her married name as her stage name.
