Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon says she was fired by her agency and banned from Hollywood for speaking up in support of Palestine: “I was fired by my agency, specifically for marching and speaking out about Gaza, for asking for a ceasefire. It became impossible for me to even be on television. […] I couldn’t do any major film — anything connected with Hollywood. I found agents ultimately in England and Italy and I worked there. This Italian director that just hired me — he was told not to hire me. He didn’t listen, but they had that conversation. So, right now I specialize in tiny films with directors who have never directed, independent films and films that are in Europe. That’s the main reason I haven’t been working as much.”
