Actress Susan Sarandon said that she has been blacklisted in Hollywood due to her calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“I was fired by my agency, specifically for marching and speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a ceasefire,” Sarandon said Friday during a conversation with Reuters.
Her remarks came just before she was honored with the International Goya award at the Spanish Film Academy’s ceremony in Barcelona.
“It became impossible for me to even be on television,” Sarandon said. “I don’t know lately if it’s changed. I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood.”
Sarandon, who was dropped by the United Talent Agency in November 2023 following controversial remarks about the Israel-Gaza war, is an Academy Award winner and BAFTA recipient.
At an anti-Israel rally in New York City’s Union Square on Nov. 17, 2023, Sarandon said, “There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.” …

Maybe I should actually read her stupidity. Did I misread the title and she has been black listed from Gaza? That would really suck for her

She’s old and used up. She’ll get attention from this for a day and then…The end.
I prefer much older women. That’s usually because they have the temperament, swagger, and command of things their experience has provided for them. Unfortunately, that rule escapes the old Hollywood hens.
“I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood”
Sorry lefty lady, Gaza or not, there is no demand for 80 year old leading ladies.
Oh, thanks. Glad I never saw it, although the art theater where I lived for many years showed it permanently at midnight every weekend for years. I’ve seen three of her other pix and disliked all of them. Waste of a pretty face.
re: her age that several posts have mentioned, at least she got her turkey neck lifted.
Has she even had a career since the early 80s?
“what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence”
She’s an idiot for saying muslims are the recipients of violence.
Honestly Susan, you're pushing 80 and no one wants to see your t*ts like they did when you starred in Atlantic City.*
Her remarks came just before she was honored with the International Goya award at the Spanish Film Academy’s ceremony in Barcelona.
Awards, awards, awards..... They're always giving themselves awards!
*: I confess I was a big fan back in the day... And yes, she will be 80 in October.
Has anyone posted the miniature violin yet?
Eighty this October.
“Brad’s a fag. Janet’s a whore”!
Janet Weiss was her character in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, her first big breakthrough role.
That’s “Weissssssssssssssss”.
"She was pretty hot in her day."
Someone should have said: “Can you name one? Just one?”
Hollyweird blacklisted her because she spoke out against Israel???
BULLCRAP!!! It was seemingly required every hollyweirdo spoke out against Israel and “genocide.” She is probably an insufferable angry unpleasant scold who is awful to work with. And now that she can’t draw in a crowd with looks or talent they kicked her out to pasture. There are plenty of older women getting rolls. Hellen Miren, Lin Shaye, Kathy Bates, Robert DeNiro.
If that helps you, Susan, ok.
Couldn’t be any other possible reasons.
