Sally Field, who was born in Pasadena, California, in 1946, came to prominence initially in television shows such as Gidget and The Flying Nun.
The now 76-year-old celebrity rose to prominence as an actor and campaigner, transitioning to movies shortly after leaving television.
She was in several classic films, including Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump.
In February 2023, the actress earned the Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, for which she made a graceful acceptance speech about her outstanding and long career.
Field has previously received two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes, two SAG Awards, including her most recent Life Achievement Award, and a Tony nomination throughout her career.
Field, a passionate activist, has been regarded as ageless and gifted. Her SAG Achievement Award acceptance speech was modest and served to explain her complex acting career.
Field, dressed in a stunning black gown and with naturally gray hair, exuded beauty and elegance.
In 2016, Field talked about her role as Doris Miller, an older, quirky lady—she is an old woman; 70 is old, and that’s alright. She has accumulated strength over her years; she has owned them, earned them, merited them, and earned the right to have them. And she does not like her neck or many other things, but it’s alright.
This is not the first time Field has acknowledged natural aging in an interview. In an interview in 2009, she stated how she overcame the desire to work throughout her career; she watched herself on TV and thought, ‘Oh, I wish that wasn’t happening to my neck. And your face is falling, and your eyes are swollen.’ But then she sees some of the ladies (who have had plastic surgery) who she thought were so gorgeous when they were younger. Suddenly she is thinking, ‘Oh, no! Don’t do that! And that seems to be a disservice to who they are today.’
Sally Field is stunning at any age, particularly since she has remained loyal to herself! What are your thoughts on her decision to remain natural?
