The great Dirty Harry helps expose Hollywood’s Golden Couple in his must-read blog today.
Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are fighting a plan to upgrade/expand a much-needed hospital near their NYC city home. Page Six has the scoop.
I’d like to hear more from their side of the story. So far, Sarandon’s public statement is pretty tepid. But Page Six can be a little … sensational in its reporting at times, and I want to be fair to the power couple. On the surface, though, it looks pretty darn hypocritical.
Anyone has any updates from the Robbins/Sarandon camp, please keep me posted. And I’ll be on the lookout as well.

That sounds pretty vile. I’m reminded of how the Kennedy’s blocked a proposal to add wind turbines in their area because it would screw up their view.
Didn’t you have an unpleasent experience with Tim Robbins once?

This certainly brings Kennedy’s wind fiasco to mind, James.
And yes, Robbins was the only source who ever taped me while I was interviewing him - we chatted in connection to the film “Catch a Fire.”
Robbins was on his best behavior that day … no nutty far left rants in the whole conversation.

He was the best part of that film, too.

Robbins’ political beliefs can drive me to distraction, but he’s a fine actor with a keen sense for picking quality projects - his “Shawshank Redemption” will stand the test of time, and his directorial masterpiece remains “Dead Man Walking.”
(on a personal note … when it’s time for my dog Haley to go into her crate, she does her version of “Dead Man Walking” … she walks into the gate as slowly as any four legged creature can walk.
