She became Susan Sarandon when she married a college classmate <a href="/people/058/000078821/">Chris Sarandon</a> in 1967. They divorced in 1979. She made her film debut in <I>Joe</I> (1970), as a bohemianette fleeing her father, <a href="/people/700/000023631/">Peter Boyle</a>. After appearing for a few months on <I>Search for Tomorrow</I>, Sarandon landed a key role in the <a href="/people/714/000026636/">Jack Lemmon</a>-<a href="/people/768/000023699/">Walter Matthau</a> remake of <I>The Front Page</I>. She starred in <I>The Rocky Horror Picture Show</I>, a dramatization of the play, opposite <a href="/people/781/000022715/">Barry Bostwick</a>, <a href="/people/763/000023694/">Tim Curry</a>, and <a href="/people/015/000023943/">Meat Loaf</a>, but that film flopped on first release. For middle America, she became a movie star when she was featured with <a href="/people/795/000022729/">Robert Redford</a> in <I>The Great Waldo Pepper</I> (1975).<P> Sarandon later played the mother of 12-year-old prostitute <a href="/people/197/000023128/">Brooke Shields</a> in <I>Pretty Baby</I>, and starred with <a href="/people/938/000031845/">Burt Lancaster</a> in the loners' romance <I>Atlantic City</I>. Both films were directed by <a href="/people/298/000044166/">Louis Malle</a>, who became Sarandon's lover for several years. In <I>Bull Durham</I> (1988), Sarandon played the baseball groupie, with <a href="/people/758/000022692/">Kevin Costner</a> as a veteran catcher and a young <a href="/people/614/000025539/">Tim Robbins</a> as the team's rookie pitcher. Susan Sarandon was Oscar-nominated for <I>Atlantic City</I>, <I>The Client</I>, <I>Lorenzo's Oil</I>, and <I>Thelma & Louise</I>. She won her statuette playing a nun in <I>Dead Man Walking</I>.<P> Always an outspoken liberal, Sarandon participated in protests against the Vietnam war and in support of civil rights while she was in high school.<P> <p><b>Father:</b> Phillip Leslie Tomalin (advertising executive)<br><b>Mother:</b> Lenora Marie Criscione (housewife)<br><b>Brother:</b> Terry Tomalin
