The Enduring Icon: Sally Field's Remarkable Journey
Born Sally Margaret Field in Pasadena, California, in 1946, Sally Field quickly became a familiar face in American households. Her mother, Margaret Field, was an actress herself, providing an early glimpse into the world that would become Sally's lifelong career. Her father, Richard Dryden Field, was a pharmacist.
Field's career trajectory is nothing short of legendary, boasting an impressive collection of accolades. She has received two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Primetime Emmy Awards, in addition to nominations for a Tony Award and two British Academy Film Awards. Her contributions have also been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the National Medal of Arts, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.
A Childhood Shaped by Challenges
While her professional life would blossom, Field's early years were complex. Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother later remarried actor and stuntman Jock Mahoney. In her 2018 memoir, Field bravely revealed that she endured abuse from Mahoney throughout her childhood, a profound trauma that impacted her formative years.
As a teenager, Field attended Portola Middle School and Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, where she was a cheerleader. She shared hallways with future prominent figures like financier Michael Milken and talent agent Michael Ovitz, though her personal struggles continued beneath the surface.
Field's memoir also disclosed a deeply personal and traumatic experience from her youth: at 17, she underwent an illegal abortion in Mexico, during which she was molested by a technician. This experience would later fuel her vocal advocacy for abortion rights in the United States.
From Gidget to Flying Nun: The Sitcom Years
Field's acting career began on television, where she quickly became a household name. She charmed audiences as the boy-crazy surfer girl in the sitcom 'Gidget' from 1965 to 1966. Though initially cancelled, reruns gained popularity, leading ABC to seek a new starring vehicle for her.
This led to her iconic role as Sister Bertrille in 'The Flying Nun,' which ran for three seasons from 1967 to 1970. While 'Gidget' was a joy for her, Field later expressed strong dislike for 'The Flying Nun,' feeling disrespected by the show's directors. During this period, she even had a brief singing career, releasing an album and several singles.
Breaking the Mold: The Dramatic Turn
The success of her sitcoms unfortunately led to typecasting, making it challenging for Field to secure more serious roles. She appeared in several guest television roles through the early 1970s, including a dramatic turn in the TV film 'Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring' as a discouraged teen runaway.
Determined to shed her 'girl next door' image, Field made a pivotal decision: she studied at the renowned Actors Studio with legendary acting teacher Lee Strasberg. Strasberg became a crucial mentor, helping her unlock her dramatic potential and move beyond the confines of her sitcom past.
This dedication paid off handsomely. Soon after, she landed the demanding title role in the 1976 television film 'Sybil,' portraying a young woman suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Her powerful, nuanced performance earned her an Emmy Award and finally allowed her to break free from typecasting, solidifying her as a serious dramatic actress.
Hollywood Stardom and Oscar Glory
In 1977, Field transitioned to the big screen with a co-starring role in 'Smokey and the Bandit' alongside Burt Reynolds. The film was a massive commercial success, becoming the year's second-highest-grossing movie and marking the beginning of a significant personal and professional relationship between Field and Reynolds.
However, it was her role as the titular union organizer in 1979's 'Norma Rae' that truly cemented her status as a dramatic actress. Critics raved, with Vincent Canby of The New York Times calling her performance 'spectacular.' This powerful portrayal earned her the Best Female Performance Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and her first Academy Award for Best Actress.
Field continued to work with Burt Reynolds in several more films, including 'The End,' 'Hooper,' and 'Smokey and the Bandit II.' She also continued to diversify her roles, portraying a tough, foul-mouthed prostitute in 1981's 'Back Roads' and earning Golden Globe nominations for 'Absence of Malice' and 'Kiss Me Goodbye.'
In 1984, Field delivered another unforgettable performance as Edna Spalding, a farm widow struggling during the Great Depression, in 'Places in the Heart.' This role earned her a second Golden Globe and her second Academy Award for Best Actress. Her emotional acceptance speech, famously declaring 'You like me...right now...you like me!', has become one of Oscar's most memorable and frequently parodied moments.
The late 80s saw Field continue to impress, co-starring with James Garner in the romantic comedy 'Murphy's Romance' and earning a Golden Globe nomination for her matriarchal role in 'Steel Magnolias.' In a surprising move, she also graced the cover of Playboy magazine in 1986, featured as an interview subject rather than a pictorial model.
A Respected Veteran: Adapting and Thriving
The 1990s brought a series of iconic supporting roles that showcased Field's enduring versatility. She lent her voice to Sassy the cat in Disney's 'Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,' played the estranged wife of Robin Williams' character in 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' and famously portrayed Tom Hanks' mother in 'Forrest Gump'—despite being only ten years his senior!
Her filmography from this period also includes powerful dramas like 'Not Without My Daughter,' the star-studded comedy 'Soapdish,' and 'Eye for an Eye,' for which she received the Berlinale Camera award. She also ventured into animation, guest-starring in 'King of the Hill,' and continued her comedic streak with 'Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde' in the early 2000s.
Field also made a triumphant return to acclaimed television, with a recurring role on the medical drama 'ER' as Dr. Abby Lockhart's mother, Maggie, a woman living with bipolar disorder. Her sensitive and compelling portrayal earned her another Emmy Award in 2001, proving her power across different mediums.
Beyond acting, Field also explored directing. She helmed the television film 'The Christmas Tree' in 1996 and an episode of the acclaimed miniseries 'From the Earth to the Moon' in 1998, even taking a small role in the latter. In 2000, she directed the feature film 'Beautiful.'
In 2006, Field joined the cast of the ABC drama 'Brothers & Sisters' as the matriarch Nora Walker, a role that perfectly showcased her warmth, wit, and dramatic depth. Her performance earned her the 2007 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, further cementing her status as a television legend.
The 2010s saw Field take on two very different, yet equally memorable, film roles. She portrayed Aunt May in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' (2012) and its 2014 sequel, bringing a new dimension to the beloved character. Even more notably, her critically praised portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' (2012) earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Her enduring impact on the entertainment industry continues to be recognized. In 2014, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2019, she was honored with the Kennedy Center Honor, one of the nation's highest artistic distinctions, and in 2023, she received the prestigious Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award.
Field remains active, starring in films like 'Hello, My Name Is Doris' (2015), which earned her a Critics' Choice Movie Award nomination, and the ensemble comedy '80 for Brady' (2023). She also returned to episodic television with the Netflix miniseries 'Maniac' (2018) and AMC's 'Dispatches from Elsewhere' (2020).
Personal Life and Family
Sally Field's personal life, like her career, has seen its share of changes. She was married to Steven Craig from 1968 to 1975, with whom she had two sons: Peter Craig, a novelist and screenwriter, and Eli Craig, an actor and director. She later married Alan Greisman in 1984, having another son, Sam, before their divorce in 1994.
From 1976 to 1980, Field had a high-profile relationship with her frequent co-star, Burt Reynolds. Their on-screen chemistry often mirrored their real-life romance, captivating audiences. Though they continued to date on and off, their relationship ultimately ended in 1982.
In 1988, Field and three family members narrowly escaped a terrifying private plane accident at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. The plane, owned by Merv Griffin, lost power during takeoff and collided with a parked aircraft. Thankfully, everyone onboard survived with only minor injuries.
Field has also been open about her struggles with severe depression in her late teens. She credits acting classes with helping her find an outlet for 'this urgency, this anxiety, this need to find something that was festering in me,' highlighting the therapeutic power of her craft.
Activism and Advocacy
Beyond the silver screen, Sally Field is a passionate advocate for various social causes. Diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2005, she launched the 'Rally with Sally for Bone Health' campaign, promoting early diagnosis and awareness, partnering with pharmaceutical companies to raise public education.
Her activism extends to women's rights, serving on the board of directors for Vital Voices Global Partnership, an international women's NGO. In a memorable moment at the 2007 Emmy Awards, her acceptance speech included the unedited remark, 'If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no goddamn wars in the first place,' which was famously censored by Fox.
Field is also a staunch advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, winning the Human Rights Campaign's Ally for Equality Award in 2012, proudly supporting her youngest son, Samuel Greisman, who is gay. Her commitment to social justice even led to her arrest in 2019, while demonstrating with Jane Fonda's climate change activist group in Washington, D.C.

1965–1976: Early television roles and Gidget
Field got her start on television as the boy-crazy surfer girl in the sitcom Gidget (ABC, 1965–1966). The show was not an initial success and was cancelled after a single season; however, summer reruns garnered respectable ratings, making the show a belated success. Wanting to find a new starring vehicle for Field, ABC next produced The Flying Nun with Field cast as Sister Bertrille for three seasons, from 1967 to 1970. In an interview included on the Season One DVD release, Field said that she thoroughly enjoyed Gidget but hated The Flying Nun because she was not treated with respect by the show's directors. During her time on The Flying Nun, Field had a brief singing career, recording an album (Star of The Flying Nun, 1967) and a number of singles.
Field was then typecast, finding respectable roles difficult to obtain. In 1971, Field starred in the ABC television film Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring, playing a discouraged teen runaway who returns home with a bearded, drug-abusing hippie (played by David Carradine). She made several guest television appearances through the mid-1970s, including a role on the Western Alias Smith and Jones, a popular series starring Gidget co-star Pete Duel. She also appeared in the episode "Whisper" on the thriller Night Gallery.
In 1973, Field was cast in a starring role opposite John Davidson in the series The Girl with Something Extra that aired from 1973 to 1974. Following the series' cancellation, Field studied at the Actors Studio with acting teacher Lee Strasberg. Strasberg became a mentor to Field, helping her move past her television image of the girl next door. During this period, Field divorced her first husband in 1975.
Soon after studying with Strasberg, Field landed the title role in the 1976 television film Sybil, based on the book by Flora Rheta Schreiber. Her dramatic portrayal of a young woman afflicted with dissociative identity disorder earned her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Special Program – Drama or Comedy in 1977 and enabled her to break through the typecasting of her sitcom work. She received further strong reviews for her work in the 1976 film Stay Hungry, opposite Jeff Bridges and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
1977–1989: Norma Rae and film stardom
Field with Joanne Woodward in Sybil (1976)
In 1977, Field co-starred with Burt Reynolds, Jackie Gleason, and Jerry Reed in the year's second-highest-grossing film, Smokey and the Bandit. In 1979, she played the titular union organizer in Norma Rae, a film that established her as a dramatic actress. Vincent Canby, reviewing the film for The New York Times, wrote: "Norma Rae is a seriously concerned contemporary drama, illuminated by some very good performances and one, Miss Field's, that is spectacular." For her role in Norma Rae, Field won the Best Female Performance Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Field appeared with Reynolds in three more films: The End, Hooper, and Smokey and the Bandit II. In 1981, she continued to change her image, playing a foul-mouthed prostitute opposite Tommy Lee Jones in the South-set film Back Roads. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for the 1981 drama Absence of Malice and the 1982 comedy Kiss Me Goodbye.
In the 1984 drama Places in the Heart, she starred as Edna Spalding, a farm widow struggling to weather the Great Depression. She won her second Golden Globe Award and second Oscar. Field's acceptance speech has since been both admired as earnest and parodied as excessive, mainly the line, "And I can't deny the fact that you like me...right now...you like me! (applause) Thank you!" Field later parodied herself when she delivered the line (often misquoted as "You like me, you really like me!") in a Charles Schwab commercial.
In 1985, she co-starred with James Garner in the romantic comedy Murphy's Romance. The following year, Field appeared on the cover of the March 1986 issue of Playboy magazine, in which she was the interview subject. She did not appear as a pictorial subject in the magazine, although she did wear the classic leotard and bunny-ears outfit on the cover. That year, she received the Women in Film Crystal Award. For her role as matriarch M'Lynn in the film version of Steel Magnolias (1989), she was nominated for a 1990 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

She then played Tom Hanks's mother in Forrest Gump (1994), even though she was only 10 years older than Hanks, with whom she had co-starred six years earlier in Punchline. For Forrest Gump, she received BAFTA and SAG nominations. Field's other 1990s films included Not Without My Daughter, a controversial thriller based on the real-life experience of Betty Mahmoody's escape from Iran with her daughter Mahtob; and Soapdish, a comedy in which she played a pampered soap-opera star and was joined by a cast that included Kevin Kline, Whoopi Goldberg, Cathy Moriarty, Elisabeth Shue, and Robert Downey Jr. In 1996, Field reprised her role as Sassy in Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco and later that year, she received the Berlinale Camera award at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival for her role as a grieving vigilante mother in director John Schlesinger's film Eye for an Eye.

In 2000, she directed the feature film Beautiful.
Field was a late addition to the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters, which debuted in September 2006. In the show's pilot, the role of matriarch Nora Walker was played by Betty Buckley. However, the show's producers decided to take the character in another direction, and offered the part to Field, who won the 2007 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance. The drama also starred Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths as Nora's adult daughters. In November 2009, Field appeared on an episode of The Doctors to talk about osteoporosis and her Rally With Sally Foundation.

From 1976 to 1980, Field had a relationship with Burt Reynolds, during which time they co-starred in four films: Smokey and the Bandit, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, and Hooper. Following their 1980 breakup, Field and Reynolds continued to date on and off before splitting permanently in 1982.

Memoir
In her 2018 memoir, In Pieces, Field wrote that she suffered from "severe depression" in her late teens. She stated that taking acting classes had helped her overcome "this urgency, this anxiety, this need to find something that was festering in me."
Philanthropy and activism
Field has been a strong advocate for women's rights, and having undergone a traumatic illegal abortion in Mexico at the age of seventeen, she is a vocal advocate for abortion rights in the United States. She has served on the board of directors of Vital Voices Global Partnership, an international women's NGO, and has co-hosted the Global Leadership Awards six times.
Field is also an advocate for LGBT rights, and was honored with the Human Rights Campaign's Ally for Equality Award in 2012. Her youngest son, Samuel Greisman, is gay.
In 2005, Field was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Her diagnosis led her to create the "Rally with Sally for Bone Health" campaign with support from Roche and GlaxoSmithKline that controversially co-promoted Boniva, a bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis. Field's campaign encouraged the early diagnosis of such conditions through technology such as bone-density scans.
In 2005, Field received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement presented in recognition of her lifetime of contributions to the arts as well as her dedication as a social activist.
During her acceptance speech at the 2007 Emmy Awards, when she won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Field said: "If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no goddamn wars in the first place." Fox Broadcasting Company, which aired the show, cut the sound and picture after the word "god" and did not return camera/sound to the stage until after Field finished talking. An e-mail statement from the company the day after the incident explained that the censorship of Field's speech (among two other censorship incidents during the award ceremony) occurred because "some language during the live broadcast may have been considered inappropriate by some viewers. As a result, Fox's broadcast standards executives determined it appropriate to drop sound and picture during those portions of the show."
On December 13, 2019, Field was arrested along with other protesters who were taking part in one of Jane Fonda's Fire Drill Fridays climate change demonstrations in Washington, D.C.
A Democrat, Field supported Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election, and Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign.
