Hilarious, I can almost hear her ego deflating from here.

(NYDN) — The Wall Street demonstrators might want to brush up on their history: Some didn’t recognize protest veteran Susan Sarandon when she showed up to support them Tuesday.

“Who is she?” some of the young agitators asked each other as the Oscar-winning actress gave their cause a little star power.

“I’m just here to be educated,” the “Bull Durham” star told reporters and protesters in Zuccotti Park.

Sarandon, 64, stopped by the Occupy Wall Street encampment on her way to catch a flight to Italy and was peppered with questions about climate change and the economy.

“It helps to focus on one thing to be accomplished,” she advised. “Is everyone here registered to vote? Are you having people sign petitions?”

Sarandon has a long history of participating in marches, rallies and civil disobedience for liberal and humanitarian causes. She was arrested in 1999 during a protest outside Police Headquarters.

On Monday, filmmaker Michael Moore visited the protesters, who clashed with police over the weekend.
