Movie Magic!

Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon is one of my favourite females actors, she is

sassy
smart
sexy
sensual
strong

she has a real sense of conviction
both in her work and her political views

The characters she plays are so convincing and believable

Two of my favourite films are

it's a road movie whereby Thelma & Louise "escape" their turbulent and contained lives at home looking for adventure.  Along their travels they kill a rapist and end up on the run from the police, eventually leading them to take the only way out.  Geena Davis, Harvey Kietel and Brad Pitt co-star in the movie.

 
Sarandon plays Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic Nun who supports the abolition of the death penalty in New Orleans.
The film is based on a true story and follows Sister Prejeans journey as a spiritual adviser to a prisioner on death row ~ Matthew Poncelet {played by Sean Penn}

The film is directed by her then long term partner Tim Robbins and earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress ~ which she rightly deserved!

Susan has recently taken an ancestoral journey on the television programme Who Do You Think You Are? to discover her roots - such a fascinating journey....
