In 2004, Susan revealed she had a sexual relationship with David Bowie over 30 years ago. The actress said their relationship happened while they were working on the British horror film "The Hunger" and said:

"He's worth idolising. He's extraordinary. That was a really interesting period. I wasn't supposed to have kids, and I'm the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn't ever in a mode where I was looking to settle down and raise a family so that definitely changes the gene pool you're dipping into."

Partner: Franco Amurri

Susan was diagnosed with endometriosis and by 1984, she stopped taking the birth control pills that were prescribed when she was first diagnosed with the disorder. She also decided to forego other contraception assuming that she was unlikely to get pregnant naturally.

"Of course you feel like a failure. It's a big deal, but again, it's an opportunity to grow. At the end of my first marriage [Sarandon was married to actor Chris Sarandon from 1968 to 1979], it was about the loss of ideal, about who you thought this person was. I thought love conquered all and I had to reevaluate everything. And you need your girlfriends, you need to take long, long walks until you're exhausted and no longer freaking out and you hold on until a new dawn. Then you get another chance."
