The actress says the incident took place when she went to audition for a role.
Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon
has revealed that as a young hopeful in Hollywood she was the
victim of a "disgusting" casting-couch experience.
The actress says the incident took place when she went to
audition for a role, Elle magazine reported.
"It was not successful - for either of us. I just went
into a room, and a guy practically threw me on the desk. It
was my early days in New York, and it was really disgusting.
It wasn't like I gave it a second though, it was so badly
done," Sarandon said when asked if she ever had a
casting-couch experience.
The 66-year-old actress did not reveal the name of the
person or the audition.
Sarandon had her first audition at the age of 23 when she
went to a casting call for the motion picture Joe, landing a
major co-starring role in the film, which was released in
1970.
The actress went on to win an Academy Award for Best
Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man
Walking.
