“The idea of a woman president I know will happen, and I hope someday it can be the daughter of someone who’s not rich, who’s not married to someone who was a president”, she said.

“By the time I started doing film and television, I was pushing 40”, says the Detroit-born actor, a Broadway veteran when he started appearing regularly on screens around 1994.
On the red carpet of the NY premiere of “The Meddler” at the Tribeca Film Festival Tuesday evening, I asked Susan Sarandon what she learned about herself making the film? “I’m not even admitting that she’s going to get the nomination”, she said.
Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne in The Meddler. Sarandon, 46, shared with The MOMS that she was the oldest of her nine siblings so her parents had their hands full. A tall reporter almost lunged at her to get a quote, and introduced himself as a journalist from Colombia, adding that he was from the region where she incurred her foot injury. “Hard to say. Sarandon later clarified that she of course would never support Trump, but that wasn’t enough for some”. The dialogue is relentlessly chipper, and the supporting players – arm-waving Italian in-laws, a pregnant girlfriend in ditsy top gear (though I do love Lucy Punch), an obligatory love interest played with more diligence than energy by J.K. Simmons in an improbable handlebar mustache — often feel like situation comedy types. Still, Sarandon was surprised when “The Meddler” came her way. It’s a personal film for Scafaria, about her relationship with her own mother, Gail, who moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles following the death of her husband. But in the months leading up to the movie’s theatrical release, those reviews have been largely overshadowed by other headlines about Sarandon and her political beliefs.
Sarandon praised Sanders for taking steps to get money out of politics, not taking money from super PACs, etc.

“There are certain people who are really gorgeous and iconic, and they play the same part over and over, or they play themselves with this wonderful charismatic personality”. The takeaway won’t shock you either: Marnie and Lori will wake up to the source of their shared grief and their mutual need and all the redemptive stuff that comes with this territory. She ingests a large amount of marijuana left behind in her vehicle by Apple boy’s no-good brother and wigs out all over town, goes way too physically ballistic on one of her suitors when he leans in for an innocent goodnight kiss, winds up in jail when a cop catches her dumping hubby’s ashes into the Pacific, and buys ovulation sticks instead of a proper pregnancy test, which causes all kinds of goofy drama when Lori thinks she’s carrying her ex’s child. I’m not getting that much sleep, but that’s alright!
