Susan Sarandon Talks About Playing Bette Davis In ‘Feud’ | TODAY
I refuse to accept that Susan Sarandon is 70 years of age! She looks radiant!
She looks amazzzing!
She does look amazing... her surgeons and dermatologists are brilliant and she hasn't overdone anything and developed that generic freak look.
Uh...you can see what looks like a plastic surgery scar on her jawline by her chin at around 1:18. When you're a natural redhead, you don't get skin that smooth at 70 years old unless you've had work done.
bluedasher74: Anyone who thinks that a 70 year old wealthy actress has a natural face is very ignorant to reality. This woman clearly has had a number of things done to her face (and body no doubt).
vistaestrada Agreed
Susan Sarandon deserves the roles Julianne Moore is playing on cinema and Jessica Lange deserves half the roles Meryl Streep is being offered. Two stunning pure gold talents who felt the need to migrate to TV.
I agree 💯...and literally said same thing!!
She's 70? She looks *naturally* youthful: like 48!
I was thinking 47, no joke. We were on the same page!
Whatever she has had done, you must admit that it doesn't look phoney like so many, IF she's had that work done at all. She still looks incredible for whatever the reason is.
Kirk Barkley I agree! she looks nothing over 50! im very impressed!
Usually women her age who get work like that done end up looking awful. Like real housewives awful. Either she hasn't had much done, or her doctors are amazing.
Kirk Barkley yes she does
Poor Susan , having to do an interview with Dippy and Dorky.
I agree.
She looks younger than she did in Thelma and Louise! and she was 45 then!
Miss Sarandon should had accepted to play Bette Davis when she was offered the role she would have surely would have won another Oscar if she's offer to play Davis she should do it, she is phenomenal Actress!!!
+Roberto Soto
What are talking about? She did play Bette Davis in a TV miniseries. What Film role playing Bette Davis was she offered would have garnered her another Oscar?
She looks incredible for 70!?
It's so refreshing to see a beautiful older woman in Hollywood who doesn't have a face full of fillers. I think it's the overuse of all those fillers that ruin acting actresses' beauty.
Follow Keith she’s beautiful but she had well publicised face lift recently...
@@moominmay Ok, HOW do you know? And what if she just had fillers applied? Fillers aren't surgery
She's such a strong, confidant woman. Love it.
They did such an amazing job bringing these people to life again! I loved the depth of the story lines and the portrayals were absolutely wonderful! What a talented cast!!!
Susan here is 70 years old looking like she's in her early forties. Love her, legend playing a legend.
The best facelift I've ever seen.
G M
Better than Jocelyn Wildenstein?
G M I’m glad she didn’t get the lip injected bloated lips or the big puffy cheeks. She looks great, maybe subtle procedures and nothing over done.
As if she wasn’t already AMAZING!!! She rocks Bette Davis like no other. I just found the gem, Feud!!! And I. Am. Impressed.
She looks the same as she did 20 years ago!!!! One of my favorite actresses.
damn everyone in these comments are so brutal. the pilot of the show was amazing. she plays bette fantastically. why does everyone want her to do the full voice imitation? it would be hacky after a while. Imagine someone playing DeNiro or Christopher Walken and doing the impression for 12 hour-long episodes. itd get stupid.
T M Ikr?? 😂 There sure are a lot of critics in this comment section that aren't even actors! But they know so much about it? I'd like to see all these haters try and do a better job! 😂
KoRnChic its not haters..when you watch a film.n the acting doesnt capture you..you lose interest.simple as that !
she truly embodied Betty Davis in this series
All the comments just relate to how great she looks - if she looked like a normal, aging woman, the comments would be cruel. That's what Joan and Bette went through in Hollywood. It just goes to show that nothing changes when it comes to women getting older. This is what Susan has fought against for a long time.
I so wish someone would make a more movies about the actresses of the Golden Era. Especially Mae West and Tallulah Bankhead! Loving Feud though....well done...Bravo!
Yeah, those two out of all old Hollywood actresses could really be interesting given they both had very colorful lives and were pretty ahead of their time
Susan Saradon is an amazing actor and i enjoyed this interview. Also, I am watching the Feud Series and she and her cast of actors are awesome to watch in this fantastic series.
Susan is about 16 years older than Bette was, when she played Baby Jane...but she looks 20 years younger than Bette.
Bette drank and smoked more it seems
Filmdude0 and i was just thinking about that crazy yet authentically hot 🔥❤ movie that she played a sultry witch in The Witches of Eastwick where her name or character's name was also JANE... how insane.... And when i look at her here that made me think of Jane... LOL man, i wish that i was Jack Nicholson back in those days even when that movie came out
Did Susie have a facelift of late? She looks remarkable smooth!
The Real Mc She does look beautiful in this clip. I admire her as an actor but especially as someone unafraid to speak her mind and go straight to the core of issues. It is true that there is not really compelling roles for older women in Hollywood unless you're Meryl Streep. Writers and directors should step up to the plate!
The Real Mc but it looks great.. a major pull job..but still great!
if she did its completely successful and natural---
You can see it slightly pulled up and around the ears, tell-tale sign of a facelift. That said, it is very well done and not pulled.
They all minimize the amount they've had.
Susan looks incredible, but Kathie Lee is starting to look like Baby Jane !
yeah like a blowfish...bad botox
harlow I agree! 👏🏻
lol
harlow omfg rofl
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Susan is stunningly beautiful; inside and out. Just love her.
She's just the loveliest of Trump's useful idiots, isn't she, working so hard to defeat Clinton and all. I'm sure happy for her she's too rich to worry about Social Security and health care. Such a superior being, not allowing her ego and vanity to stand in the way of any concern she might have ever pretended to have for the less-than-rich. Now that I know she cares more for her political purity than for whether people like me live or die, I just can't seem to get enough of her!
Kevin Donohue She supports Trump?!?!? 😵😵😵
No, she supported Sanders and then Stein - but she campaigned viciously against Clinton. On election day, there were only two possible winners. She couldn't stand Clinton, Clinton lost, so she got what she wanted, and I hope she's happy with it.. I feel the same way about all the Sanders and Stein people who were so self-righteous that they either did not vote or voted 3rd party - and much of their "information" on Clinton came either from Russia or the right and had no substance to it. So, now we have Trump. Thanks.
Kevin Your Welcome! lol lol lol
+Kevin Donohue
This Susan Sarandon interview has NOTHING to do with Hillary Clinton or politics! But no sweetheart, much of the 'information' came from Hillary Clinton, herself! The election was hers to lose. She took much for granted, ran a terrible campaign (some would say a DEPLORABLE campaign) not even visiting many states, and she had no clear message. She lost and only has herself to blame!
Susan Looks AMAZING. I assume she's had work but it looks natural and radiant
It's about the backstory of their relationship.., looks well written. I'm sure Jessica and Susan had a blast playing these roles!
From the clip they showed, I think Susan did a really good job. She doesn't sound like Bette (and who could, really), but she has Bette's vocal phrasings and intonations down pat.
I have never seen anyone look this good and natural at 70. I wonder how she does it.
Susan was right on point being Bette Davis, awesome work
love her chill af outfit
Susan, you look amazing in green colour!!!🌹🌹🌹
Marvelous job, cried through different pieces, and loved them. These actresses were stunning and brillant.
No one better than Susan could of pulled off my favourite actress *BETTE DAVIS*
I love Susan’s subtle face work. Her face doesn’t look puffy or stretched.
I know she probably had work done and if she did it's the best work I've seen. She looks amazing.
She looks beautiful
Very excited for this. Susan Sarandon nailed Mrs. Davis' body language.
Susan looks amazing. Love her as an actress, too!
I just love finding movies about Susan Sarandon, she is incredibly intelligent, and a great Actress !
Her skin is amazing!!!! Her makeup flawless!
I cant unsee her as bette davis I just cant! Lol ❤❤❤
I hope Susan does a Bette Davis Bio movie-she would get an Oscar!
I've always liked her and looking forward to this series! I'll never forget the first movie I saw her in, The Other Side of Midnight. She reminds me so much of my sister.
Looking at the thumbnail I thought this was an older video, she looks 30! Then I saw the Feud description. crazy!!
I understand what a lot of people are saying about Susan's performance but Bette Davis was a TRUE LEGEND not just a voice
Her voice modulation for the role was chilling.
Wait she is 70... I thought she is like 50
I think Joan truly needed to hear that !!!
I love Susan Sarandon she is an amazing actress just an awesome lady
I like so much to live in a world that still gives Dean Cain a chance!
Oops thought he was jerry odonnell
@@guyinsf I thought he was Mario Lopez
The sparkle in her eyes... ❤️
Perfect casting! Can't wait to watch FEUD
I have always had a Huge Love For Turner Classic Movies. Jessica Lange. Susan Sarandon. Catherine Zeta Jones. Did such a Gorgeous performance Acting. Then brining back the life of OLD HOLLYWOOD. Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford.
I love Susan Sarandon & she looks great! I'm glad she's playing Bette Davis!
She's always been my favorite actress
I want to see the entire series!
If you have Prime video, you can buy it for $20.00. - Best two sawbucks I ever spent.
She looks fantastic at 70. Seriously. The whole idea of age and being old is so over.
We can just sit here for a while. And pretty soon the sun will come up and it will be nice.
Really looking forward to this. Thank God it isn't going to be an imitation of 2 great actresses from a bygone era. You can get that from any drag show. Hail Susan & Jessica! Two of Americas finest actresses working today!
She just looks amazing......I needed to say that!!...♥
I love Susan--and my gosh she looks 20 yrs younger than her age!!---and she has more than a passing resemblance to Bette--but once she opens her mouth in the clip its kind of over--if the clip is an example of her performance she didn't try hard enough in her impersonation--I mean, c'mon--a drag queen in Frisco would have been better. Not asking her to do a characature--but she sounds like Susan Surandon with a bit of Boston thrown in. Not to quibble but that scene between her and Joan at beginning never happened--pure fiction.
I can't wait to watch it
*I can't believe Susan is 75. she looks amazing*
I love her so real and down to Earth
I don't believe I've ever uttered the sentence "Sexy Seventy Something!" until now!
Love the Feud ! That show Rocks ! They picked the very BEST WOMEN IN THE WORLD to play Bette Davis & Joan Crawford ! WOW , they even look like them ,Jessica Lang & Susan Sarandon are doing an INCREDIBLE JOB ON THAT SHOW Love that show ... Old Hollywood so much more fascinating than new Hollywood ! Will be watching the Feud ! DVR ing every episode ....
Susan Sarandon gorgeous inside and out
i wish that she would have tried to at least sound like bette
The idea is to suggest the star, the woman, Bette Davis was. It was not to do a female impersonator's act.
I agree--why only go half the way? She certainly looks like Bette. I mean, study, Bette's films while you prepare!! Only 80 of them!
exactly--if its not there, its not Bette
well, I agree--but she could have used a little impersonator's magic--maybe 10 percent.
I'd like to at least see some of Bette's mannerisms.
...you ladies just keep getting more & more beautiful the more time passes..
Can’t think of two better actresses to play such historical actresses
She did tremendous job.. Brava
THIS IS FANTASTIC
FEUD was excellent, Ryan Murphy is a genius. And while both actresses were outstanding, I felt like Jessica Lange became more totally immersed in her characters.
She's so gorgeous. Always been one of my crushes. lol
i mean 70?wtf
susan sarandon is doing an amazing job in this series I have to say!
I love Susan Sarrandon! 😊
Glad to hear Susan say there are more women with Production Companies / I've had mine for 26 years :) Kate Marsh-Joplin
That is some amazing work. She looks younger than in Witches of Eastwick.
Tom Ripley ha ha
As a woman, I am slightly tired of hearing about the lack of roles for women of a certain age. My thought is that if this message keeps being perpetuated, that is what will be created (Law of Attraction). I think Television/Specialty channels are the new frontier for actors of any age to succeed! Amazing roles for strong and talented women (of any age ) :D
She looks radiant and only in her 40s!
Lange is such a superior actress
but she doesn't really capture Joan here--certainly not the voice. plus she's had some plastic surgery it seems. her face looks like a mask.
Susan is so beautiful and talented. Love her!
Is it just me or does Susan Sarandon look absolutely beautiful and younger than ever? She has this glow to her face.
It is so eerie how much she looks like Bette Davis in this role. I always though she resembled her. And WOW this woman looks only 50 or so. Aging very well.
Her skin looks amazing!!!
Susan is still (and always will be) so beautiful
Susan looks so youthful and natural, she is AMAZING!!!! Take 25 years off easily!!!!!
She looks like she is finally getting some sleep lol 😂😂
now thats good work
love her in this movie as bette davis
I was told I'm an age eater , I'm 28 and yet look 18 so with that said I hope I look somewhat like her as I get older , Susan looks AMAZING 😍
shes amazing
Going through the comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed that SS isn't doing Ms Davis' distinct voice.
Sarandon was a brilliant Bette Davis.
Sarandon was just Sarandon.
I CANNOT get over how spectacular Susan is! 70 years of SLAYING. CONTINUING.
I would NEVER have thought ANYONE could play MISS D! But, Susan has the LOOK down pat, and that's good enough for me! BETTE DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!
She does an incredible job playing her
Love her!
Air force sac vet I know Miss Susan Sarandon was offered to play Bette. Davis when Miss Davis was still alive Miss Sarandon herself said so in previous interviews, I also knew about the miniseries that began on march the 5th on Fox I recorded all of it until the season finale with Jessica Lange as;Joan Crawford. & Catherine Zeta Jones as; Olivia De Havilland Alfred Molina & the rest of the Fabulous cast & crew!!!
Susan looks amazing!
Omg, Susan is so beautiful.
I cannot seriously believe that SS is 70yo. Holy sacred cow. I would have guessed a very well-preserved 60. She looks unbelievable.
She and her daughter are the most beautiful thing ever !
What a talent Bette was over Joan. just compare their films over the years! Both actresses r doing a good job in remake but production seems hastily put together for shock value. When u think of what these women endured working in an archaic studio system, Susan n Jessica should be shouting their praises!
