Sally Field today
Field’s breakthrough role came in 1979 when she was cast to star as the lead actress in the critically-acclaimed drama Norma Rae. This film established her as a serious actress, rather than a one-dimensional, comedy actress; the following year, Field won her first Academy Award for her performance in the film.
Her career had kept growing ever since, and Sally has established herself a name in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Field had a plateful in her personal life as well. She was involved in several high-profile relationships and was married and divorced twice. In 2018, the actress published a memoir titled In Pieces, which landed a top spot on the New York Best Sellers list.
