Sally Field, known for her appearances in classic films such as Mrs. Doubtfire and Places in the Heart, wore a gorgeous white gown and a trendy curly bob hairdo to the Oscars this year.
They presented the Best Actress in a Leading Role award alongside other actresses Jessica Lange, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, and Michelle Yeoh, all of whom had previously won in the category.
As the spotlight shined on the winner, Emma Stone, for her performance in Poor Things, Sally, 77, wrapped her in a loving hug, much to the joy of spectators across the world.
Social media was flooded with adoration for Sally’s eternal beauty, with one admirer writing on a snapshot of the star: “Sally Field is still gorgeous.”
Recalling Sally’s memorable Oscar speech from 1985, when she won Best Actress for Places in the Heart, one user tweeted a GIF with the caption: “#sallyfield looking FABULOUS as always.”
Viewers couldn’t help but notice Sally’s maternal tenderness as she interacted with Emma Stone. “Sally Field speaking to Emma Stone is like a mother speaking to a daughter,” one viewer wrote of the touching scene.
Emma Stone herself voiced her respect for Sally, adding, “I’ve had the opportunity to work with Sally Field three times.” We have the same birthday. I absolutely loved her and what she was saying — all of the people I like and look up to — so it was very nice.”
Sally’s spectacular career spanned six decades, beginning with tiny appearances in films like Moon Pilot in 1962 and exploding into television celebrity with programs like Gidget, The Flying Nun, and The Girl with Something Extra in the 1970s. Along the process, she has received countless awards, including two Academy Awards, multiple Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globes.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sally reflected on her path since winning the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award last year, sharing insights into her indomitable character. “I was not trying to prove myself…” “The more complicated roles I can play, the more pieces of myself I can discover,” she said at the time.
Growing up in a working-class show business family, Sally witnessed firsthand that the entertainment industry is far from glamorous. “It’s not fun, it’s not easy,” she said, emphasizing the commitment and determination necessary to succeed in the entertainment industry.
