Throughout her astonishing half-century long career, the renowned actress has captivated audiences all over the world.

But Sarandon is more than just a gifted character actor; examples include Sister Helen Prejean in Dead Man Walking and Louise in the ground-breaking film Thelma and Louise.

In addition, Sarandon is well known for tirelessly fighting for those with endometriosis, a condition she fought for a very long time and which negatively impacted her ability to conceive.

Though she may be more so in her own personal life as a mother, she is the most devoted of all.

Due in part to a health issue, Sarandon didn’t become a mother until she was 39 years old, but she later had two additional children. The actress has long been known for her decision to try becoming pregnant despite being past childbearing age. She did, in fact, become newsworthy with each child that was born due to her “unusual” choice to begin her “mommy career” “so late” in life.

Susan Abigail Tomalin was born in 1946, and after taking her first husband’s name, Chris Sarandon became her stage name. She is 75 years old, but she has dedicated a large chunk of her life to pursue her acting career. She is renowned for her advocacy work for just causes.

Sarandon began her acting career in the dramatic full-length picture Joe from 1970, playing the major role. Following that, she tried her hand at characters in soap operas, most notably Patrice Kahlman in A World Apart. Five years later, in 1975, when she was just 29 years old, she became well-known because of her part in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

She was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Atlantic City in 1980, and less than ten years later, in 1984, she had appeared in more than 25 films and television shows.

Her personal life was more difficult even if her business was thriving. She learned that having a kid wouldn’t be as simple as she had thought it would be when she was dating the Italian director Franco Amurri.

One of the causes was endometriosis in her. She had a disease that prevented her from starting her own family earlier in life, among other things.

Sarandon had been displaying a number of medical symptoms, but it wasn’t until she was in her forties that doctors were able to make a firm diagnosis. The benign disorder causes the uterus’ inner tissue to peele off throughout each monthly cycle, resulting in bleeding and invasion of other organs such the rectum, bladder, or ovaries.

The heartbreaking news that Sarandon would have trouble getting pregnant also increased her likelihood of having disastrous pregnancy complications. Pain was not the only side effect of the condition. Pregnant women with the condition are at a higher risk.

Despite all of this, Sarandon conceived when she was 39 years old. Many people around her advised her against having the child and warned that it would ruin her career.

Sarandon, however, disobeyed that advice and basked in the immense blessing of her pregnancy, giving birth to Eva Amurri, her first child, not long after.

Eva has now carried on her mother’s acting and content development career. Following the dissolution of her marriage to Amurri, she started dating Tim Robbins, an actor who was 12 years her junior.

With Robbins, Sarandon would have her next two children, John “Jack” Henry (born in 1989) and Miles Robbins (born in 1992). Bull Durham had brought the two together.

“With each child, [people] asked, ‘Are you crazy?’ I had my first child at 39 and my third at 45. Don’t!’” In an interview, Sarandon disclosed.

Sarandon has made it very clear through several interviews that she overcame a variety of physical obstacles in order to conceive and carry each of her children to term.

No matter how debilitating her condition was, she claimed that she didn’t want to question her capacity to be a mother as a result of it.

She said, “It’s not okay to miss out on a part of life because of pain and excessive bleeding,” in 2011 at an event hosted by the Endometriosis Foundation of America.

She has made a concerted effort to allay any stigma or concerns about the condition and has acted as a spokesman for other women through a similar journey. Her goal is to inspire women to publicly voice their suffering and to resist accepting it as the norm.

Women should not be reluctant to receive a diagnosis and treatment as soon as is practical in order to live a life with fewer restrictions.

Eva, Sarandon’s oldest daughter, is now a mother herself after giving birth to three children of her own: a male, Major James, in 2016, and two daughters, Marlowe and Mateo, in 2016 and 2020, respectively.

Sarandon and her daughter Amurri occasionally share beautiful pictures of their adorable family on their social media profiles. Sarandon is not only a loving mother, but she is also a happy and engaged grandmother to three!

The delighted great-grandmother is pictured here with them all as they celebrate her 94th birthday; even Sarandon’s mother is a member of their extended family.

The fact that Sarandon bravely followed her heart and found within herself the strength to conquer her physical issues in spite of the obstacles she faced is a given.

Despite the fact that Sarandon plainly emanates strength and confidence, some have questioned the actress’s wardrobe selection.

In 2016, the actress received harsh criticism from Piers Morgan about her attire on Twitter. He took issue with her white suit jacket, which could be undone to reveal cleavage and a black bra.

Susan Sarandon: “Would she wear this to a funeral? No. For an In Memoriam homage, it was therefore totally unsuitable, Morgan tweeted.

To be clear, I have no issue with Susan Sarandon exposing her breasts, he continued in another tweet. It’s just impolite to do it while leading ‘In Memoriam’ at an awards ceremony.

Sarandon was referred to as “unattractive” by one troll who appeared to agree with Morgan. She was described by another as a “wretched, old, dried up, nasty nobody.”

Sarandon discussed her perspective on fashion in a 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

Despite the fact that I may not be completely knowledgeable about all aspects of fashion, I am aware of what individually appeals to me and what piques my interest, which I choose to embrace. I don’t feel the need to always follow the latest fashions,” she said.

Last but not least, Sarandon appears to be content with her appearance regardless of her age and has developed a stronger sense of “appreciation” as she gets older.

She advocates for a mindset that celebrates and respects oneself and supports body positivity and self-acceptance as crucial components of overall wellbeing.

“You have a tendency not to waste energy on the small stuff and only to surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous,” she says. “When your sense of time has an ending and isn’t finite, like how it feels when you’re young – when you have an understanding that time is precious –
