Sarandon was a fierce advocate for Annie in Bull Durham (1988) more than 15 years before she started her acting career. She traveled on her own from Rome from Italy, to Los Angeles. "It was such a wonderful script ... and was able to dispel the myths that surround it and challenge the American definition of success" she stated. "When I arrived at the studio I spent a bit of time with Kevin Costner, kissed some ladies at the studio, then got back on a plane". Tim Robbins (1988), her Bull Durham supporting actor, had already given birth to two sons by 1992 which put Sarandon into a position where she was able to leave her home and be able to take on more challenging roles. The result was four Academy Award nominations in the 1990s as well as the award for best actress for Dead Man Walking (1995). Louis Malle's Atlantic City (1980) was her first Academy Award nomination.
