Susan Sarandon brings her own brand of fierce intelligence to every role she plays, from her acclaimed, fearless portrayal in "Bull Durham" to her Academy Award-nominated performances in "Atlantic City," "Thelma and Louise," "Lorenzo's Oil" and "The Client," and her Oscar-winning and SAG Award-winning work in "Dead Man Walking."

Sarandon was recently seen as Grandma Lynn in Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones," as Nancy in "Solitary Man," as a mother in "Speed Racer," as the villainous queen in the blockbuster live action-animated hit "Enchanted" and in director John Turturro's musical comedy "Romance and Cigarettes," opposite James Gandolfini, Kate Winslet and Steve Buscemi. Her other recent credits include the drama "In the Valley of Elah," opposite Tommy Lee Jones, and the comedy "Mr. Woodcock," with Billy Bob Thornton.

Sarandon made her acting debut in the movie "Joe," which she followed with a continuing role in the daytime drama series "A World Apart." Her early film credits include "The Great Waldo Pepper," "Lovin' Molly," "The Front Page," the 1975 cult classic musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and Louis Malle's controversial 1978 film "Pretty Baby."



Among Sarandon's many other film credits are "Elizabethtown," written and directed by Cameron Crowe; "Alfie," opposite Jude Law; "Shall We Dance?," with Richard Gere; "Noel," with Robin Williams and Penelope Cruz; Brad Silberling's drama "Moonlight Mile," opposite Dustin Hoffman and Jake Gyllenhaal; "The Banger Sisters," with Goldie Hawn; the comedy "Igby Goes Down"; Stanley Tucci's "Joe Gould's Secret"; Wayne Wang's "Anywhere But Here," with Natalie Portman; Tim Robbins' drama "Cradle Will Rock"; the poignant comedy "Stepmom," with Julia Roberts; the erotic farce "Illuminata," directed by John Turturro; and "Twilight," opposite Paul Newman and Gene Hackman.

In addition to her many on-screen credits, she has lent her vocal talents to the animated features "Rugrats in Paris," "James and the Giant Peach" and "Cats & Dogs," and served as narrator for Laleh Khadivi's documentary "900 Women," which dealt with female prison inmates. Her additional feature credits include "King of the Gypsies," "The Hunger," "The Buddy System," "Compromising Positions," "The Witches of Eastwick," "Sweet Hearts Dance," "The January Man," "A Dry White Season," "White Palace," "Light Sleeper," "Bob Roberts," "Little Women" and "Safe Passage."

For television, Sarandon starred as Dr. Jerri Nielson in the 2003 CBS movie "Ice Bound" and as Princess Wensicia Corrino in the Sci Fi Channel miniseries "Children of Dune." She appeared in the telefilm "The Exonerated," directed by Bob Balaban, and starred in HBO's "Earthly Possessions," based on Anne Tyler's novel and directed by James Lapine, as well as in the CBS movie "Women of Valor" and the HBO miniseries "Mussolini and I," opposite Bob Hoskins and Anthony Hopkins.

On Broadway, Sarandon appeared in Gore Vidal's "An Evening with Richard Nixon" and received critical acclaim for her performances off-Broadway in "A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking" and the thriller "Extremities." She also appeared off-off-Broadway in the moving post-9/11 play "The Guys."

Sarandon can currently be seen starring opposite Ralph Fiennes in the highly acclaimed HBO biographical telefilm "Bernard and Doris," which premiered on HBO in February.
