Eva Amurri Is Susan Sarandon’s Daughter

Eva Amurri the beautiful daughter of Susan Sarandon, has called out her mother for her lack of fashion sense. Well, New York magazine has some fashion advice for Eva as well.This week is New York Fashion Week, and out come all the celebrities and their spawns. Included in that bunch are Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri. While talking to the press at Tuesday night’s Max Azria show, the young actress revealed that her mother is not interested in fashion. She said:

“She doesn’t care. She wears her gym clothes from when she comes back from the gym until night. Sometimes she puts a jacket over it if I really beg her to, but she doesn’t really care very much.”But Amurri put herself out there for scrutiny when she said that, especially after wearing Hammer pants to the Chris Benz show. New York Magazine had this to say about the fashion nono:

Listen, there is no easy way to break this news, so we’re just going to come right out and say it: Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri wore Hammer pants. Indeed, we think they were Chris Benz Hammer pants, because they were in the exact same pattern as the outfit sported by a nearby PR girl — which means the Hammer pants were also totally avoidable, as who in her right mind would choose clingy trousers with a knee-length droopy crotch over a cute frock? Do we need to have an intervention here, Eva? We can’t believe Susan didn’t send Eva off into the corner to think about what she’d done while wearing a dunce cap. Which, parenthetically, would’ve been a whole lot more flattering.

Woah, that’s pretty harsh, but I guess you get what you give.Eva Maria Livia Amurri was born on March 15, 1985 in NY, New York. She is the daughter of Italian director Franco Amurri, and actress Susan Sarandon.

Doris Duke Played By Susan Sarandon

HBO's drama about fabled heiress Doris Duke, concentrates on her relationship with her butler Bernard Lafferty, a man who tentatively becomes perhaps the best friend she has in the world.The film -- a hard-to-categorize exercise in comic pathos -- covers only about six years in Duke's life and doesn't even attempt to be comprehensive. A 1999 CBS miniseries, "Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke" (based in part on a memorable book by former Style writer Stephanie Mansfield), was a scattershot attempt at full-fledged biography. The approach taken on "Bernard and Doris" by writer Hugh Costello is more manageable, an extended riff on Duke's relationship with Lafferty and how these two lonely people may truly have been made for each other.

As Duke, Susan Sarandon gives one of those performances that's so close to perfect it seems more like channeling than acting. She becomes Duke from her initial appearance and delivers every single syllable of dialogue as if these were real words that just popped into her head. Rich drunks are not the most sympathetic of souls, but Sarandon lets us see through the eccentric behavior to the lost soul, poignant even when comical.Ralph Fiennes plays Bernard Lafferty, at first delicately toadying as he learns Duke's innumerable eccentricities, later letting her manage various details of his life, or as much of a life as it is.
