Sally Field Bio, Age, Husband, Children, Net Worth, Movies, TV & Wiki

Sally Field is an American actress, director, singer, and producer recognized for depicting various significant characters in famous TV shows and movies like Forrest Gump, Gidget, Steel Magnolias, and Lincoln. Aged 21, she was awarded a leading character in the TV series ‘The Flying Nun’, a sitcom with a lightly far-fetched concept. To anyone her age, acting in a TV show would have been sufficient, but not for Field, who asked for characters with substance, presenting a maturity that denied her age. Twice in her career, Field made intentional efforts to break free of her typecast characters and succeeded in bagging accurately the kind of roles that she sought.

Her career has been decorated with all kinds of awards and honors. In an industry where gaining one ‘Oscar Award’ is considered the summit of one’s career, she got two of them, that too in the extremely competitive category of ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’. In television too, she has given her mark with award-winning appearances in shows like ‘ER’ and ‘Brothers & Sisters’. Till today, Field proceeds to captivate audiences, and mesmerize everyone with her gripping performances.

Health Issues

In 2005, Field was diagnosed with osteoporosis. She later determined that women in her family had a history of developing the disease, and her grandmothers encountered symptoms like the shape of the spine. As a result of her diagnosis, Sally Field selected to create a campaign named “Rally with Sally for Bone Health.”

There were some anxieties about the resulting ads, as the preferred treatment for osteoporosis termed Boniva. The FDA then warned consumers about the “misleading” ad, which was financed in large part by pharmaceutical companies who wished to improve their osteoporosis treatments.

The campaign also worked to promote early detection of the illness through bone-density scans and similar technology. Field later said that she was staying active and using different ways to stay on top of her osteoporosis symptoms.

• In the harsh auditions, after many trials, Field was taken from among 75 applicants and hence got her first break in television.
• ‘Gidget’ ran only for just one season before being eliminated, but Field became famous with the viewers, particularly teenagers, and when the show was aired again, it received surprisingly good viewership.
• 1967 was an important year for Field. That year, she started acting in a new TV series (The Flying Nun), had her first significant film released (The Way West), and also tried into singing with two tracks, the theme song of ‘The Flying Nun’ and ‘Felicidad’.
• Although ‘The Flying Nun’ was slammed by critics, it was a big success with the viewers. Field herself was unhappy because she worried that the character would typecast her as a comic actress, while she wanted more serious characters.

• The same year, she performed in the film ‘Stay Hungry’, also starring popular actor Jeff Bridges.
• ‘Sybil’ helped to change her on-screen image and began to better characters in the following years, notably box-office hits such as ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ and its sequel, ‘The End’, ‘Hooper’ and an Oscar-winning character in ‘Norma Rae’, which served to establish her credentials as a dramatic actress.
• From 1981 to 1990, Field served only in films and continued to experiment with different kinds of characters, serving with many fine actors and winning a host of accolades and awards in the process.
• Her outstanding movies of this decade include ‘Absence of Malice’, ‘Kiss Me Goodbye’, where she again starred with Jeff Bridges, ‘Places in the Heart’, which won her another Oscar, ‘Murphy’s Romance’ featuring James Garner, and ‘Steel Magnolias’, which had an ensemble cast, including a young Julia Roberts.

• From 1995 to 2000, she appeared in few films, interspersed with characters on TV in shows like ‘A Woman of Independent Means’, ‘Merry Christmas, George Bailey’, ‘David Copperfield’, etc.
• In 1996, she began her directorial debut with the Television movie ‘The Christmas Tree’.
• In the next years, she went on to direct an episode of the TV miniseries ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ and her first film ‘Beautiful’.
• Since 2000, Field has proceeded to act in both films and TV shows. She featured in the commercial hit ‘Legally Blonde 2’. She was also praised for her intense appearance of a bipolar mother in the Television drama ‘ER’ and again for her role as a matriarch in the drama ‘Brothers & Sisters’.
