Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon attend a screening of Thelma and Louise. Photo: Keith Tiner/BFA.com When you think of Susan Sarandon, maybe you think of the puritan turned prurient Janet from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the waitress turned man murderer Louise of Thelma & Louise. Maybe you think of Marmee March in the other Little Women, or perhaps you just think about the ginger bombshell who voted for Jill Stein. But according to Sarandon, all she is onscreen recently is dead.
During the screening, Sarandon and Davis kicked off their heels , and sat down with the Cut to talk about life, love, and Sarandon’s continued theatrical fates. Though both Davis and Sarandon did technically soar to their deaths in Thelma & Louise, they recalled how important the script felt when they read it for the first time — not because of the movie’s catalyzing rape, but for the luxury of having two women in leading roles.
Davis — who is quite Thelma-like in real life, letting Sarandon take the lead — agreed. She told the Cut, “I just became obsessed with the script. I was like, Ahhahaahahh, I have to be in this movie.” Of course, there was also the perk of working opposite the very young, very toned, very shirtless Brad Pitt. Said Sarandon, “He’s done alright. He turned out okay … Not just a pretty face.”
Brace yourself for a lot of angry tweets. I’m not going to write one because you will get hundreds. They won’t click on the article, so good luck with that.
Maybe Jill Stein will be interested in her opinion.
