We love her work in films like Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Steel Magnolias. Some of our favorite work from her, though, is not on the screen but instead in her personal approach to working against ageism and bullying in her career.
At 78, Field exudes the same radiance she possessed at 19 – though she’s still confronting criticism about her appearance
Early life and career
Field started life with some challenges, chiefly due to the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather, Jock Mahoney – something she revealed in her 2018 memoir, per The New York Times.
Her first acting gig was in the hit 60s sitcom Gidget, a role that skyrocketed her to stardom, landing her more serious acting roles in movies like Sybil and Norma Rae (which earned her an Academy Award).
As the years progressed, Field became known for her portrayal of strong maternal figures, in hit movies like Soap Dish and Not Without My Daughter.
