Susan Sarandon is one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, known not only for her powerful performances but also for speaking her mind. She rose to fame as Janet Weiss in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and later earned critical acclaim for Thelma & Louise, receiving an Oscar nomination. She won an Academy Award for her role in Dead Man Walking.
A longtime advocate of body positivity, Sarandon faced criticism after wearing a white jacket over a black bra on the red carpet, with one journalist calling it “totally inappropriate.” Instead of responding with words, she posted an old photo of herself confidently posing in her underwear—silencing critics without explanation.
Unbothered by aging, Sarandon says she focuses on what truly matters, valuing time, meaningful relationships, laughter, exercise, healthy habits, and—she jokes—a great hair and makeup team.
