When Washington Met Hollywood: At Lunch With Cory Booker and Susan Sarandon
Susan Sarandon hobbled into the restaurant in a cast boot and shiny Teamsters jacket emblazoned with the name “Sue.” But Senator Cory Booker’s first question for the actress was about a tattoo that runs down her back. (“It’s my kids’ initials — and my granddaughter’s,” she replied.)
When she returned the favor, challenging him to show his tattoos, Mr. Booker unbuttoned precisely one shirt button before admitting he didn’t have any. “I’m boring that way,” he said.
Ms. Sarandon, 69, had fractured her ankle while hiking in Colombia. But the injury scarcely slowed her down, as befits a busy actress and perhaps even more prolific activist. Her film career spans more than 45 years and includes “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Bull Durham,” “Thelma & Louise” and “Dead Man Walking,” for which she won an Academy Award as best actress in 1996, her fifth nomination. Her latest film, “The Meddler,” will be released next month.
Ms. Sarandon has also spoken out on a wide range of social, environmental and political causes, including hunger and homelessness, H.I.V./AIDS, sex trafficking, the death penalty and mass incarceration. She has served as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador since 1999.
