Susan Sarandon: ‘I was dropped by my agent, my projects were pulled’

Another teenaged dream crushed.

The actress, 78, thought her politics would never harm her career. Now she tells Will Pavia she may never act in a big-budget Hollywood movie again

‘You wanna hear a story about Brando?” asks Susan Sarandon, her bouncy auburn hair sprayed out across her shoulders; those potent eyes of hers looking at me over Zoom from behind a pair of thick, grey-blue-framed glasses. It’s a gorgeous day in New York City’s West Village, sunshine warms the wall behind her and a tabby cat named Ida sprawls at her side.

Who wouldn’t want to hear a story from her about Marlon Brando? She shrugs her grey cardigan off her shoulders and gives me a look that says: hold on to your hat.
