# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Susan Sarandon broke in with Joe in 1970 and a stint on daytime soap, then found cult immortality in The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975. Oscar nominations followed for Atlantic City, Thelma & Louise, Lorenzo's Oil, and The Client before she won Best Actress in 1995 for Dead Man Walking, playing Sister Helen Prejean opposite Sean Penn's condemned man. The roles kept coming — Little Women, Bull Durham, Stepmom, The Lovely Bones — and she moved between film, Broadway revivals like Exit the King, and television turns as Bette Davis in Feud. Appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1999, she's spent decades turning press junkets into soapboxes, never mistaking fame for permission to fade.
