Academy Award-winning actress and humanitarian Susan Sarandon talks about her first big break when she auditioned for an independent film on a whim, and then found herself in Hollywood scoring leading lady roles in big feature films, such as Annie in "Bull Durham", Louise in "Thelma and Louise" and Sister Helen in "Dead Man Walking." A New Jersey native and the eldest of nine siblings, Sarandon grew up in a strict Catholic school which shaped her world view, leading to her future social and political activism. She talks candidly about becoming pregnant after doctors told her she wouldn't be able to have kids, aging in a business that is tough on women passed a "certain age," and why she believes relationships need to evolve, even if it means parting ways.
