The actress confided to Elle magazine about a 'disgusting,' casting-couch experience that happened in her younger years. 'It was not successful – for either of us,' Sarandon explained, when asked if she had ever had a casting-couch experience.
'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.'
She does not give any details of which audition she was assaulted at. Sarandon had her first audition at 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.

It's so vile that these people think they can get away with manipulative, awful behaviour. A lot of the time they do.
I am NOT saying the incidents are comparable AT ALL apart from in that they were allegedly perpetrated by people in positions of power, but watching all the Jimmy Savile stuff unravel in the news is horrifying.
I wish everyone felt that it's safe to speak out. :(
