The Atlantic City actress quotes, "I'm forever hopeful — but not desperate."Susan retained her husband's surname after her divorce from Oscar-nominated actor Chris Sarandon, who she met as a fellow student at the Catholic University of America. The pair were married from 1967 to 1979. Since the duo's relationship took place during their pre-fame period, it gained attention only after the pair opened up about their dissolved marriage.  

"We kind of eventually dated. Eventually, my first sexual experience. I was so grateful," Susan recalls while dishing on her early marriage with the actor. Susan reveals how they didn't have any option but to get hitched. "I decided to get married, and only because we would've gotten kicked out of school, " the actress explains, adding, "so, we agreed that we would decide every year whether or not to renew."

Sarandon once said, "(we) thought that if you didn't get married, you wouldn't take each other for granted as easily."  

The pair lived with their kids in a duplex in Chelsea and were often called the perfect Hollywood couple. Sarandon and Robbins called it quits after twenty-three years in 2009.

During her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Show last year, Sarandon was posed with the same question, and the actress said it without actually saying it.    

Did Susan come out as bi?
