Susan Sarandon Fansite

Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon are both veteran actors (or, in Sarandon’s case, actress) with impressive filmographies under their belts. Penn appears in The Thin Red Line, Carlito’s Way, Loved, Mystic River and All The King’s Men; Sarandon in Enchanted, The Banger Sisters, Alfie, Who Am I This Time?, and the newly-released Speed Racer. All are good movies in their own right, and lend credit to their actors.

But did you know that these two actors are intertwined in not one but two ways? The first – and later instance – was during Dead Man Walking, in which Sarandon plays a nun and Penn an inmate waiting on death row for murder. The movie is an occasionally disturbing drama.

More, though, did you know they dated? Prior to the movie? It’s true. Not for long, mind you, but they did. More than 10 years prior, in fact. Quite a way to reunite the two, isn’t it?
