16 Good Deeds Done by Selfless Celebs

9. Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon was inspired to get involved in a real life death row case after playing a nun in the film Dead Man Walking. “Sister Helen Prejean called me and convinced me that this guy, Richard Glossip, was innocent and needed another chance to have better representation to present new information that would establish a reasonable doubt as to his guilt and save him from being executed. Since the only real option we had is press, because [Glossip] has gone through a number of trials and has exhausted that route, I decided to help.” Susan got more than 150,000 people to sign petitions asking the governor to give the man clemency. That’s the power of fame.
