Sally Field’s Latest Appearance at Oscars Has Everyone Talking
Emma Stone herself expressed admiration for Sally, stating: “Sally Field, I’ve had the privilege to work with three times. We share the same birthday. I just adore her and what she stands for — all those women I deeply admire and look up to, so it was truly special.”
Sally’s illustrious career spans over six decades, commencing with minor roles in films like “Moon Pilot” in 1962 and blossoming into television prominence with series like “Gidget,” “The Flying Nun,” and “The Girl with Something Extra” in the ’70s. Along her journey, she has garnered numerous awards, including two Academy Awards, multiple Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globes.
Reflecting on her journey after receiving the SAG Lifetime Achievement award last year, Sally shared insights into her resilient spirit in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I wasn’t out to prove anything… The more complex roles I could tackle, the more facets of myself I could discover,” she disclosed.
Growing up in a working-class show business family, Sally gained firsthand knowledge that the entertainment industry is far from glamorous. “It’s not glamorous, it’s not easy,” she admitted, emphasizing the dedication and perseverance essential for success in showbiz.
