Sally Field is an actress who is most remembered for her dramatic roles in both films and television. In her childhood and teenage years, she had to endure psychological and verbal abuse from her stepfather. She found her relief by getting involved in extracurricular activities at school, including drama. Aged 21, she was offered a leading role in the TV series ‘The Flying Nun’, a sitcom with a slightly far-fetched concept. To anyone her age, starring in a TV show would have been enough, but not for Field, who craved for roles with substance, displaying a maturity that belied her age. Twice in her career, Field made conscious efforts to break free of her typecast roles and succeeded in bagging exactly the kind of roles that she sought. Her career has been adorned with all kinds of awards and honours. In an industry where winning one ‘Oscar Award’ is considered the pinnacle of one’s career, she won two of them, that too in the highly competitive category of ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’. In television too, she has made her mark with award-winning performances in shows like ‘ER’ and ‘Brothers & Sisters’. Till today, Field continues to captivate audiences, and mesmerize everyone with her gripping performances.
