Susan Sarandon, a titan of the silver screen and a beacon of individuality, has never shied away from speaking her truth—both on and off the camera. With a career spanning decades, she has captivated audiences with her talent and captivated hearts with her unwavering authenticity.
From her iconic role in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” to her Oscar-winning performance in “Dead Man Walking,” Sarandon has left an indelible mark on the film industry. Yet, it’s not just her acting prowess that sets her apart; it’s her unapologetic embrace of self-expression.
In an industry often dictated by narrow standards of beauty and conformity, Sarandon refuses to be confined by expectations. Recently, when critics took aim at her fashion choices, labeling them “inappropriate,” Sarandon responded in her trademark fashion—without words.
Instead of engaging in verbal sparring, Sarandon let an image speak volumes. Sharing a photo of herself proudly flaunting her physique in nothing but panties, she effectively silenced her detractors, asserting her right to define her own standards of appropriateness.
But Sarandon’s defiance extends beyond the realm of fashion. At 76, she embraces aging with grace and wisdom, recognizing the preciousness of time and the insignificance of societal norms. Her secret to maintaining youthfulness? A hearty dose of laughter, regular exercise, wholesome nutrition, and, of course, a stellar makeup and hair crew.
Yet, beneath the glamour and accolades lies a woman unafraid to chart her own course. Sarandon surrounds herself with individuals who share her vitality, curiosity, and courage, refusing to waste energy on the trivialities of life.
In a world that often seeks to diminish and confine, Susan Sarandon stands as a testament to the power of self-assurance and resilience. She embodies the spirit of defiance, urging us all to embrace our true selves and carve our own paths, regardless of the naysayers.
As we applaud Sarandon’s unwavering spirit, let us also heed her example—choosing authenticity over conformity, and daring to be unapologetically ourselves. In a society that often seeks to silence individuality, Susan Sarandon’s voice rings loud and clear: be bold, be fearless, and above all, be true to yourself.
Heartbreaking Update on ”Dallas” actress Linda Grey-
Linda Gray, who pIayed the legendary role of Sue Ellen Ewing in the hit show Dallas, had a life filled with excitement and a number of obstacles.
Recalling her childhood in Culver City, CaIifornia, she says how being given the chance to hang out with her friends around the filming studios triggered something in her that made her fall in love with acting. Her father, whom she describes as a rather cold person was always supportive of her career. Her mother used to be a heavy alcoholic while Linda and her sister were growing up so they had to take care of the house for long.
“She wasn’t falling down drunk, there was never any yeIIing,” Linda wrote in her book The Path to Happiness is Always Under Construction. “She wasn’t mean – she was just blurred, in her own world, she would forget to buy food so I started doing the cooking. My sister and I didn’t like her.”
Linda married her first and only husband, whom she separated with in 1983, photographer Edward Lee Thrasher, when she was 21. They had two children together, and although she enjoyed being a mother, it was her husband who somehow stood in her way of making a career in acting.
Although she was part of many commercials, it took Linda quite some time to finally gather the courage to attend acting classes.
In 1967, Linda was paid $25 to be Anne Bancroft’s body double in the poster for the film The Graduate not knowing that years later, or in 2001 to be exact, she would end up playing Mrs Robinson in the West End State production of The Graduate.
During the 1960s, she got a rejection letter from the Glamour Magazine, but that only made her more determined to succeed. “It was so funny that I kept that letter,” she wrote. “I kept the letter because I realized that we all have rejections, and it was her opinion when I was 20 years old. I could have had it devastate my life. But, I didn’t. This feisty streak came out – ‘Oh, yeah? I’m gonna show you!’ With great love and a lot of humor, I kept that letter. It kicked me from behind, and made me want to go and do something.”
After playing small roles, Linda finaIIy got the one that marked her career, that of Sue Ellen Ewing. She appeared in total of 308 episodes on Dallas and played alongside Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy.
Speaking of her relationship with Hagman, Linda told CM Chat Live: “He was the bad big brother that I never had. He was always doing something in my mind wrong – he was drinking too much, or whatever, and I would reprimand him, he loved that, he loved to do something just to make me crazy. I’d say ‘Don’t eat that. You don’t need that much sugar, and stop drinking.’”
In fact, when Linda was briefly fired from the show for asking for a higher pay, it was Hagman who demanded she gets back.
For her legendary performance in Dallas, Linda received numerous awards, including two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress – TeIevision Series Drama, as well as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress.
Her son, Jeff Thrasher, followed into her footsteps and worked as a director. Sadly, he was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away in 2020. Linda was devastated. She had a hard time coping with the loss. Recently, she paid tribute to Jeff writing: “A celebration of my son Jeff’s life. He was the kindest, funniest, sweetest human being….. he brought the world such love and was loved by everyone! May his journey be a magicaI one.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CICmEWyrPUt/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=675&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fbengalimedia24.com&rp=%2Fheartbreaking-update-on-dallas-actress-linda-grey%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2dgWz6EFpC6RtaLAWwCBgR-BcaAhAdm0FRg147EhNfvC0WfZ9fCh18Swk#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1751%2C%22ls%22%3A1148.4000000059605%2C%22le%22%3A1748.4000000059605%7D
We are very sorry for her loss. Linda is doing her best to live her life without her son. She is 82 years old and is looking as stunningly beautiful as always
