SALLY FIELD

Sally Field was born in 1946. What a varied career she has had! In the 1960s, she was Gidget and The Flying Nun on TV. In the 1970s she starred with boyfriend Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit. In 1979, when everyone thought they knew her well, she re-invented herself in the role of Norma Rae (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and five years later she starred in Places in the Heart, and we discovered how much we really liked her, when she took her second Best Actress Academy Award. Some of her other movies include: Mrs. Doubtfire, Lincoln (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and Forrest Gump (she oddly played Tom Hanks mother after having been his love interest in Punchline). She has also returned to her TV roots with a recurring role in TV's "ER", and had a lead role in TV's "Brothers and Sisters". As of 2021, she is still alive at the age of 74!
