Susan Sarandon is a trailblazer and celebrity who has never shied away from speaking her mind in front of and behind the camera. She has captured audiences’ attention with her talent and won hearts with her unwavering genuineness throughout the course of her decades-long career.
Sarandon’s iconic role in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and her Oscar-winning performance in “Dead Man Walking” have had a lasting impression on the film industry. Despite this, she is unique for reasons beyond only her acting prowess: she embraces self-expression fearlessly.
In a field where strict beauty and conformity standards are often the norm, Sarandon defies expectations. Sarandon recently answered detractors who branded her outfit selections “inappropriate” with a characteristic nonverbal response.
Instead of slinging insults at other people, Sarandon let his image speak for him. By sharing a photo of herself flaunting her body in only her underwear and asserting her right to define her own boundaries for what is appropriate, she effectively silenced her critics.
But Sarandon’s disobedience extends beyond the realm of fashion. She aged sensibly and gracefully at seventy-six, understanding the value of time and the pointlessness of conventional norms. How does she manage to look so youthful? a nutritious diet, regular exercise, lots of laughing, and, of course, a fantastic team of hair and makeup artists.
Beneath the glamour and attention, though, is a woman who isn’t afraid to take the route she wants to go. Sarandon surrounds herself with people who share her bravery, curiosity, and vitality and refuses to waste energy on life’s small pleasures.
Susan Sarandon is a real-life illustration of the power of tenacity and self-assurance in a culture that frequently seeks to marginalize and restrict individuals. She personifies the spirit of rebellion, and she encourages us all to embrace our true selves and carve our own paths despite the doubters.
Let’s follow Sarandon’s example by daring to be really ourselves and putting authenticity above conformity, in addition to paying tribute to her unwavering spirit. In a culture that often attempts to stifle originality, Susan Sarandon’s message is unmistakably clear: be strong, fearless, and most importantly, stay true to who you are.
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
