How did Susan Sarandon become famous?

Many people may not realize that Susan Sarandon is actually a Queens girl, having been born Susan Tomalin in Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City in 1946; her family moved to central New Jersey when she was young.

Her professional acting career began when she attended a casting call with then-husband Chris Sarandon for 1970’s Joe, in which she would make her film debut. She next found work from 1970 to 1972 in the soap operas A World Apart and Search for Tomorrow.

Sarandon further cemented her career with 1987’s The Witches of Eastwick, where she appeared alongside Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson.

However, despite her Oscar nomination and high-profile roles, Sarandon did not become a household name until her appearance in 1988’s Bull Durham, alongside future long-term romantic partner Tim Robbins. The film earned commercial success and critical acclaim, with Sarandon being praised in particular, and helped steer her career to where it is today.
