Susan Sarandon's pet pooch accompanies her on set
SUSAN Sarandon always brings her pet pooch on set.
The Hollywood legend has two Pomeranians Rigby and Penny, and she likes to take the latter with her to work as she adds a “gentle vibe” wherever she goes.
She told Total Film magazine: “(The first thing I’ll do is) set up my teapot and my dog’s bed.
“She’s often photographed on the set. She helps a lot. She has a very gentle vibe and ends up being held by everyone.”
The Thelma & Louise star previously admitted likes to hold her first dates at a pet cemetery.
The 71-year-old actress thinks the morbid graveyard, which contains the remains of dead animals, in Hyde Park, London, is the ideal place to take a man she’s trying to woo because it’s quiet.
She said when asked where she’d take someone on their first date: “Maybe the pet cemetery in Hyde Park? It’s something you probably haven’t done before and would give you lots of time to talk.”
The legendary star has started thinking about death and has decided to dish out collectibles — such as art pieces — to her children; Eva Amurri, 33, Jack Robbins, 28, and Miles Robbins, 25, while she’s alive.
She explained: “Right now I’m in the process of giving everything away, so I did have a lot of fairly wellknown photographs — and some art — but I’m passing everything on to my children while I’m still alive. I have some magnificent photographs from Sebastiao Salgado that I’m giving to them -- and some Picasso etchings ... “‘When you’re on your deathbed, none of these other things will matter.’ Mary-Louise Parker told me that in the middle of a crisis.” But just because she’s getting older, Susan has no intention of slowing down and has admitted she would thoroughly enjoy wreaking havoc, while smoking cannabis, if she were let loose in a building in the English capital overnight. Asked what building she would choose, she said: “Maybe the National Gallery or the V&A Museum - that would be fun. I’d probably just get high and wander around.”
She helps a lot. She has a very gentle vibe and ends up being held by everyone. Susan Sarandon
