She's been in Hollywood's spotlight since the 70s.

But Susan Sarandon revealed that she's not afraid to take a DIY approach to her hair in a new interview with InStyle published on Thursday. 

The Ray Donovan actress, 71, said she still cuts her hair 'all the time,' but takes a very haphazard approach, admitting: 'I just hold it up and trim it. It’s a mess.'

In the column about finance, called Money Talks, the Rocky Horror Picture Show star shared some of the odd jobs she used to do, amateur hair dresser being one of them.

The Academy Award winner confessed she wasn't the greatest stylist, but had a trick or two to cover it up.

'I cut hair with the scissors that are like teeth so that you can’t see the lines. I didn’t have to know that much of what I was doing.'

Some of Sarandon's other gigs included getting 'paid to babysit when I was a pre-teen,' but as she got older, 'worked in laundry to get through college.'

'I worked in a hospital. I’ve worked, obviously, as a waitress—who hasn’t? In college, I cleaned apartments, worked on the switchboard, and cut hair.'

Though Susan doesn't shy away from being thrifty, she was clear that money has never dictated the types of roles she chooses, especially if it gives her a chance to work with female filmmakers.

'I’ve worked with five women directors lately, and they’re all on low-budget films because that’s the way they’ll get their shot,' she said, 'I had an incredible part when I did The Meddler, for instance.

'Am I going to turn down a great part and a woman director because I’m not getting my quote? No,' the actress/activist explained, 'It’s the process that’s important to me and the people I’m working with.'

'Sometimes you’re offered an enormous amount of money for something that just sucks. So what do you do? If you really need to buy that house or send your kid to college, then maybe you’ll take that job. But I’ve always maintained a rather low standard of living so that I don’t get in the position of having to do that.

Though the starlet is in her 70s, she is giving no signs of slowing down, with four features and a short film in the pipeline for 2018.
