I was just flipping through the channels the other day and stumbled upon an old movie. You know, one of those classics from way back when. And there she was, Susan Sarandon, in all her 1970s glory. It made me think, “Man, I gotta dive into her work from that era.” So, that’s exactly what I did.
First, I went straight to my computer and hit up IMDb. I typed in “Susan Sarandon” and, bam, her filmography popped up. This lady has been in over 150 things since 1970! I focused on the 70s and started making a list.
Here’s what I did:
- Made a list of her movies from the 70s. I found a bunch, like “Joe” (1970), “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975), “The Great Waldo Pepper” (1975), and “Pretty Baby” (1978). I mean, she was busy!
- Watched some trailers and clips. I wanted to get a feel for each movie. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” trailer? Wild! It looked like such a crazy, fun movie.
- Read some reviews. I wanted to see what people thought back then and even now. A lot of folks praised her performances, even in the smaller roles.
After getting a good overview, I decided to watch “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. I know, I know, it’s a cult classic, and I’d never seen it. I grabbed some snacks, turned down the lights, and hit play. And let me tell you, it was an experience! Susan Sarandon as Janet was just…wow. Innocent, yet adventurous, she really nailed the role. The whole movie was so over-the-top and entertaining. I totally get why it’s so beloved.
After that, I was hooked. I found some interviews with her from that time, where she talked about her career and choices. She mentioned things like how she prefers dermabrasion to keep her skin looking young and fresh. But she also said she’s never been tempted to get Botox, because she needs her face to move. I find this interesting, it shows she’s always been confident in her own skin.
Then, I also found some news about her being blacklisted in Hollywood after her words at a pro-Palestinian rally. That’s quite shocking.
This whole deep dive into Susan Sarandon’s 70s work was awesome. It made me appreciate her as an actress even more. She was fearless, taking on all sorts of roles and really making a name for herself. It’s clear why she’s had such a long and successful career. And you know what? I’m not stopping at the 70s. I’m gonna keep going and explore her work in the 80s, 90s, and beyond!
