Susan Sarandon: sexy, single and 63 – The Observer interview

Susan Sarandon: sexy, single and 63
Playing a glamorous granny may not top the wish-list of every leading lady. But Susan Sarandon, newly single at 63, is unfazed by getting older. On the eve of her new film, The Lovely Bones, she tells Chrissy Iley why marriage was not for her, why she’s getting into tattoos and how laughter keeps her skin perfect

Chrissy Iley The Observer, Sunday 17 January 2010 Article historyThe first thing you notice about Susan Sarandon is how comfortable she feels in her own body. She often talks about how proud she is of her breasts, but it’s more than that. There is something about how connected she is to herself that makes her charismatic. She is instantly accessible, perching on a little sofa in Claridge’s hotel, wondering why the green tea is brown. She is wearing black jeggings, New Balance trainers, an oversized sweater with a cream lace shirt underneath. A curious outfit, yet somehow you notice her – not its oddness.

Her skin is flawless, her eyes huge and all-consuming. She is not afraid to look at you and she’s not afraid to let you look right in at her. It’s an open face. No slyness, no manipulation. She is renowned for being a woman who doesn’t fear most things and certainly doesn’t fear speaking her mind.

It is that truth-telling that later on in the interview makes us come a little undone. But more of that later.

The Ridgefield Playhouse Film Society, as part of its Documentary Film Series, will present “PoliWood,” a film about the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, directed by Academy Award winner Barry Levinson, on Friday, January 29, 7:30 p.m. Levinson will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening. Hosts are Morton Dean, Ira Joe Fisher and Faith Daniels. Sponsors are The Ridgefield Press, HBGroup, Sony XDCAM HD and Cohen and Wolf, P.C.

“PoliWood” follows a group of politically active actors to the 2008 Democratic and Republican conventions as they set out to explore the collision and collusion between politics and Hollywood. The film gives the viewer a front-row seat and backroom access to the most significant presidential campaign of the 21st century. The journey leads to President Obama’s inauguration.

“PoliWood” features cinema-verite interviews with powerful political figures as well as high-profile celebrity actors including Susan Sarandon, Anne Hathaway and Giancarlo Esposito. “PoliWood” gives insider access to the influence Hollywood has over today’s political process as we discover the thin line between politician and actor, news and entertainment, policy and tabloid. Trailing a number of politically active actors, directors, writers and musicians, “PoliWood” is sure to spark debate about the role media and celebrities should have in modern-day politics.

Patricia Clarkson on SNL digital short

Posted on January 12th, 2010 | Posted in Career, Other | No Comments »

Cinematical: You and Susan Sarandon starred in a SNL Digital Short entitled “Motherlover” with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg. How did that come about?

Patricia Clarkson: [Laughs] That was simple. I just got a call. I guess Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake had me and Susan Sarandon in mind as their mothers. I was a little shocked at first; I didn’t really understand. I was like, what are we doing in the video? Remember, I’m a nice Southern girl. Then when I found out what it was, I was like, Oh my gosh. They [Timberlake, Samberg, and Lonely Island cohorts Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone] were lovely, lovely. We shot it in one day – I just showed up in the morning, we shot all these videos, we shot that night, and boom! The next night it was on “Saturday Night Live!” It was wild. It’s crazy how they do this, they work so long and such long hours, and they’re brilliantly talented. They’re all just geniuses, the Lonely Island guys.
