Janet is involved with Dr. Frank n Furter, plays the role of Janet in the film The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). More than 15 years after making her debut, Sarandon has finally been actively campaigning for a role that was a hit, Annie in Bull Durham (1988), taking a flight at her own expense from Rome from Rome to Los Angeles. "It was an incredible script... It was able to do rid of a lot of mythsand challenged American definition of success," she stated. "I went to the studio with Kevin Costner, sex some males in the studio and then hopped back on a plane. Tim Robbins (1988), her Bull Durham supporting actor, had already produced two sons in 1992 which allowed Sarandon in a position where she could leave her home and take on demanding roles.
