But of course, she’s also famous for her roles in famous movies and series like Gidget, The Flying Nun, Smokey and the Bandit, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Erin Brockovich.
Sally was born into a working-class showbiz family in Pasadena, California.
But her childhood was far from a fairytale. In her memoirs, Sally wrote that her stepfather did some very bad things to her and she had a secret abortion at 17.
Yet she turned out to be such a beautiful, humble human being.
As for today, Sally still continues to work regularly. She played Janice in the 2020 TV series Dispatches From Elsewhere. In 2022, she stars as Jessie Buss in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, the popular tv series that portrays the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers.
So considering how active she is, it’s not surprising that Sally appears in interviews from time to time.
On Thursday, Dec. 1, episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” beloved star Sally Field decided to admit her worst on-screen kiss to the public after a probing question by a fan came in.
Field, 76, looked around after the question was asked, laughing, “Oh boy. Shall I really name names here?”
