Keeping up with the Hollywood glam sometimes means defying age with the help of procedures and plastic surgeries. It’s not a secret that many celebrities opt to go under the knife for the sake of the good and youthful looks and the opportunities that looks brings.
However, not everyone who is part of the film industry is willing to follow this trend, and actress Sally Field is one of them.
Having been part of films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump, and having received plenty of awards for her acting, including Two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two SAG Awards, and most recently the Life Achievement Award, it’s safe to say Field has a career she can brag about.
Regardless of her age, 76, she still looks as stunning as ever and accepts her natural appearance. During her speech for the SAG Achievement Award she wore a magnificent black gown and embraced her naturally grey hair.
“I felt guarded, reserved, and out of the spotlight. But I was never sure what I’d say or do on stage. I would astonish myself,” the actress said. “I wasn’t hoping for praise or attention, though it’s excellent.”
She continued: “Acting has always been about preserving those priceless moments when I feel whole, thoroughly, and occasionally dangerously alive. Finding a path there has always been a challenge.
“They allowed me to open up and let me know things about myself that I never would have known otherwise. I’ve been working all my life. She continued for almost 60 years; there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t been genuinely happy to identify as an actor.”
Back in 2016, she was asked how she felt about playing an elderly, eccentric woman, Doris Miller.
“It’s okay that I’m an old woman; 70 is old. My years have given me strength; I have earned the right to have them, and I have owned them. And even if I dislike my neck and many other things, it’s alright,” Field told NPR.
And when it comes the natural process of aging, Field opts to stay true to herself despite the fact that the fight against ageism in Hollywood is a real one. “’Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck,’ I think when I watch myself on television. Additionally, your eyes are bulging, and your face is collapsing. Then, though, I come across some of the women (who have undergone plastic surgery) who I once thought were stunning. Oh no, I’m feeling right now. Avoid doing it! And that would seem disrespectful to who they are right now,” she once said.
Field was married two times and went through two divorces. In 1986, she married Steven Craig with whom she welcomed two sons. The couple untied the knot in 1975.
She then dated Burt Reynolds before she married film producer Alan Greisman. Field and Greisman share a son together.
Eventually, she decided to commit all her time to her career but it was when she became a grandmother that her life took on a new dimension.
She embraced the new role and loves spending time with her grandchildren at her wonderful beach house with ocean views.
We love Sally Field.
I Was Furious at My Daughter’s Birthday Gift to My Wife – Was My Punishment Justified?
My teenage daughter has been pushing my buttons when it comes to her new stepmother, but this time she went too far. My wife, her stepmother, usually buffers her when it comes to me dealing out punishment, however, her latest actions forced my hand!
Hi everyone, my name is Tom, and my wife, Mia, and I have been together for three years. This is the story of how I learned the hard way that my teenage daughter needed firmer consequences after she did something I just couldn’t forgive.
So on this fateful day, as the clock struck 8 p.m., my wife’s 42nd birthday celebration was in full swing, laughter filling our home, a stark contrast to the storm brewing under the surface.
Harper, my 17-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, had been on thin ice with Mia, but when she asked if she could join the festivities, my wife met the request with optimism.
What you need to understand is that my second wife is a wonder to behold. She’s forgiving, loving, kind, warm, understanding, considerate, caring, and so much more. This might be strange for a father to say, but those traits were something she didn’t share with her stepdaughter.
Harper seemed to lean more toward her mother’s character: vindictive, condescending, argumentative, unforgiving, sometimes cruel, and more—all the traits that caused me to divorce her mother.
“I promise to do better,” Jess mumbled, clearly not thrilled at playing the remorseful rebel.
“And I’ll return your room,” Chelsea added, sounding as convincing as a late-night infomercial host.
Beth, ever the diplomat, nodded, “Let’s work on being a family, not a reality show cast.”
So, here we are, the dust slowly settling on the battlefield. Our home is inching back towards sitcom territory, with fewer commercial breaks and more genuine laughs.
Amy got her room back, Chelsea learned the importance of boundaries, and Jess… well, Jess is still Jess, but with a bit more empathy. And me? I’m still the dragon, but now my fire breath is reserved for BBQ Sundays and roasting marshmallows, not family feuds.
