Susan Sarandon says she was blacklisted over Gaza ceasefire calls
Fox News ^ | March 2, 2026 12:58pm EST | Rachel del Guidice

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.” …

Sorry lefty lady, Gaza or not, there is no demand for 80 year old leading ladies.

Unless they are actually good at their craft. All these ladies were at or over 80 and several were in their 90s when these pix were taken. Dolly Parton, Helen Mirren, Betty White, Marla Gibbs, Judi Dench, Joan Collins, Maggie Smith, Faye Dunaway, Rita Moreno:

While I agree, the criterion for a good actress goes above and beyond sex appeal. Same for an actor. All those women can play a role very convincingly, with depth and style. Some still sing, and even dance a bit.

As a service to the FR community, I did not post a pic of Jane Fonda, age 88. She's been acting like a human being for all of her adult life, but it's an act.

It’s painful to be defined by your implants and slutty charm.

Team America got a lot right.

My favorite is the montage song.

That's really not fair. She should simply be backhanded for being an ignorant slut.

“I couldn’t do any major film or anything connected with Hollywood.”

Sister? Your Sell-By Date has come and gone. Deal with it.

Didn’t she just star in some big-hair rock-a-billy TV Mini-Series year before last?

Also - I though she and Gina Davis died in a car accident after they killed Brad Pitt?

Noooo, Mushroom! Mrs. Kit doesn’t care for the puppet-vomiting or puppet-sex scenes.

My apologies to OP for derailing your Sarandon thread with Team America. You started it with Rocky Horror! Hah!

As soon as I saw the headline, that’s where I was going to take it. In fairness, Sarandon was featured in both shows.

:)

Columbia and Janet were cuties back then. They both aged horribly.

Magenta wasn’t bad, and she has aged far better.

As others have pointed out, Sarandon was NOT black-balled from Hollywierd for being too left. She simply aged out. If she wasn’t a burnt out, mouthy, bitter, old, lefty hag, she surely could have scored some Lifetime channel movies as someone’s great gramma.

LOL. She aged out several decades ago.

Well, I certainly avoided that vomiting scene, and just posted the bare-puppet torso scene!

I think Olog-hai has been around long enough to be tolerant of these kind of thread meanderings that happen...if we wait long enough, there might be some detour off into Monty Python or something else!

As for Susan Sarandon, had she not put herself up on that podium, she might still be remembered as a somewhat attractive actress who aged well instead of a shrill anti-American harpy who didn’t age well!

Aging never goes well with anti-Americanism or harpy-ness, as Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, and many others well demonstrate.

complete nonsense: with those kinds of bona fides, hollywood would be beating down her door if she wasn’t a dried-up, has-been ...

Maggie Smith was great in Downton Abbey.

One of my favorite lines of hers was when a particularly unpleasant guest was leaving Downton he said “I shan't be returning” and she said...just loud enough for him to hear....”is that a promise?”
