Susan Sarandon turns 67 today and she is looking great for her age. To celebrate her youthful looks along with her we take a look at who she has been in relationships with since becoming an actress.
While in college she met Chris Sarandon and got married on the 16th September 1967. They divorced 12 years later in 1979; however she kept her married name as her stage name. ‘I no longer believe in marriage. I believe in love and trust and commitment, but not in marriage. Marriage may do something for lawyers and mothers, but not for husbands and wives. I deal with reality, with the feelings I have at the moment. And then I go on from there.’ (IMDB)
She then dated Lois Malle who directed Pretty Baby and Atlantic City in which she starred.
After they split, she has a relationship with singer David Bowie when they worked together on The Hunger.
Following this she went out with Italian Filmmaker Franco Amurri and had daughter with him; Eva Amurri, born on 15th March 1985 who is also an actress.
Finally she went out with actor Tim Robbins- whom she met on the set of Bull Durham. They had two sons together Hack Henry and Miles Guthrie, ‘I'm certainly not an expert, but Tim and I just celebrated 17 years together, which in Hollywood years I think is 45. I think the key is just focusing on this one person and not keeping one eye on the door to see who might be better.’ (IMDB)
The two unfortunately split in 2009, but she had a lot of positive things to say about their relationship in the days when it was going well. ‘I think the concept that there's one person who's gonna make you whole, this Gibran kind of thinking, is so detrimental. I don't think it's the other person's responsibility to make you whole at all. It's the other person's responsibility to make you laugh, to give you a dance now and then, to read the newspaper and tell you about things you don't have time to read about, to introduce you to music you don't know, to tell you when you're full of shit, to fight fair, to be good in bed, to say, "Come on, let's go have an adventure" when you've become a little bit of a stick in the mud. But it's not their job to make you whole. The test for me of a great romantic relationship is how productive you are during the relationship. You don't need somebody who's gonna keep you up till four in the morning and you don't even know why you're fighting. You don't need somebody who you're gonna go to a party and you're worried about that they're gonna get jealous, laid, drunk, stoned, or turn up missing. I like to go to a party and go my way and let somebody else go their way, and you meet up or you don't meet up and then you go home together and nobody feels bad about it. That's the perfect description of life, too- the party of life. I've been very lucky to find someone. We've been incredibly productive since we've been together.’ (IMDB)
Happy birthday Susan!
