The sensation was the appearance of the actress in "vampire" film "Hunger", where she met with Catherine Deneuve, forming a wonderful duet. And the coldness of the French star beneficial emphasized warmth, gentleness, sensitivity, spontaneity and receptivity of the American singer. "Hunger" finally cemented his reputation Sarendon frivolously-bold star. So when the Australian director George Miller began to shoot the film "The Witches of Eastwick", he did not exist doubt that one of the witches must play Sarendon. It showed in this movie so much humor, elegance and grace that easily eclipsed were draped around her Cher and Pfeiffer and prove themselves worthy partner incomparable devil-Nicholson.
A notable phenomenon in the creative biography of the actress became the band "Thelma and Louise". The image of a waitress Louise brings to mind another heroine Sarendon - Sally Matthews of "Atlantic City". The past ten years to harden her heart, completely nerves. Seeing as casual acquaintance rapes her friend Telma, she kills the villain. Normal life comes to an end, and - should be a crime for crime. Eventually, friends prefer to kill yourself, but do not fall into the hands of the police.

The life of this forty-year "straw-widow" is among the treasury of comfort furnished rooms. Drunk Nora hangs on a young man, all the forces trying to tie him to his. Decency - not the main virtue of the heroines Sarendon. They are kind, honest, open, impulsive, but not decent. "It has long been the name of" Sarendon "in the eyes of the public has become synonymous with concepts such as sex, extravagance, frivolity, courage, caprice," - says the magazine "American Film". This helps a lot, and the actress's personal life, marked by countless love novels.
