Keeping up with the Hollywood glam sometimes means defying age with the help of procedures and plastic surgeries. It’s not a secret that many celebrities opt to go under the knife for the sake of the good and youthful looks and the opportunities that looks brings.
However, not everyone who is part of the film industry is willing to follow this trend, and actress Sally Field is one of them.
Having been part of films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump, and having received plenty of awards for her acting, including Two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two SAG Awards, and most recently the Life Achievement Award, it’s safe to say Field has a career she can brag about.
Regardless of her age, 76, she still looks as stunning as ever and accepts her natural appearance. During her speech for the SAG Achievement Award she wore a magnificent black gown and embraced her naturally grey hair.
“I felt guarded, reserved, and out of the spotlight. But I was never sure what I’d say or do on stage. I would astonish myself,” the actress said. “I wasn’t hoping for praise or attention, though it’s excellent.”
She continued: “Acting has always been about preserving those priceless moments when I feel whole, thoroughly, and occasionally dangerously alive. Finding a path there has always been a challenge.
“They allowed me to open up and let me know things about myself that I never would have known otherwise. I’ve been working all my life. She continued for almost 60 years; there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t been genuinely happy to identify as an actor.”
Back in 2016, she was asked how she felt about playing an elderly, eccentric woman, Doris Miller.
“It’s okay that I’m an old woman; 70 is old. My years have given me strength; I have earned the right to have them, and I have owned them. And even if I dislike my neck and many other things, it’s alright,” Field told NPR.
And when it comes the natural process of aging, Field opts to stay true to herself despite the fact that the fight against ageism in Hollywood is a real one. “’Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck,’ I think when I watch myself on television. Additionally, your eyes are bulging, and your face is collapsing. Then, though, I come across some of the women (who have undergone plastic surgery) who I once thought were stunning. Oh no, I’m feeling right now. Avoid doing it! And that would seem disrespectful to who they are right now,” she once said.
Field was married two times and went through two divorces. In 1986, she married Steven Craig with whom she welcomed two sons. The couple untied the knot in 1975.
She then dated Burt Reynolds before she married film producer Alan Greisman. Field and Greisman share a son together.
Eventually, she decided to commit all her time to her career but it was when she became a grandmother that her life took on a new dimension.
She embraced the new role and loves spending time with her grandchildren at her wonderful beach house with ocean views.
We love Sally Field.
Real reason Kate Middleton turned down invite to Lilibet’s 1st birthday party – she was mocked by Meghan’s pal
It’s reasonable to suppose Princess Lilibet is still ignorant of her parents’ past. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to Montecito, California, the small child was born in the US, and her upbringing differed greatly from her father’s. Even though Lilibet’s first birthday was truly celebrated in the UK, rumors and conjecture still persisted.
Lilibet’s first birthday celebration was missed by her cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as well as her royal aunt and uncle, Prince William and Kate Middleton. Although it is said that the late Queen Elizabeth was present, she declined to have her photo taken with her great-granddaughter.
The absence of William and Kate at Lilibet’s birthday celebration sparked reactions soon after. While it is true that the Waleses and Sussexes’ relationship was at an all-time low, one of Meghan’s pals publicly mocked Kate and refused to accept it as the cause.
Harry and Meghan made the wonderful announcement that their daughter Lilibet had been born on June 4, 2021. Fans of the royal family will be aware that the girl is their second child; their son, Archie, was born in 2019.
Lilibet, Princess
“It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world,” a pair representative stated at the time.
Prince William and Kate Middleton were among the other members of the royal family to congratulate Harry and Meghan on the birth of their second child. However, the relationship between the Sussexes and Waleses is now colder than it has ever been.
After her parents had already left the Royal Family, Lilibet was born in the United States. Because Lilibet would benefit from a more subdued and intimate presentation to the public, she could avoid the paparazzi press that had followed Harry and Meghan across the globe.
It took some time for Lilibet’s family in the UK to get to meet her, as the Sussexes reside in the US.
Lilibet finally saw her great-grandmother at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration in 2022. Lilibet turned one on June 4, 2022, and her parents chose to celebrate at Frogmore Cottage, their then-UK residence.

On their daughter’s special day, Meghan and Harry planned a picnic in their backyard. One of the few images of Lilibet that the public has seen is the lovely photo that their friend Misan Harriman shared of the young child celebrating her birthday.
At Lilibet’s first birthday celebration, Queen Elizabeth declined to have her photo taken.
Lilibet first encountered her then-grandfather, Prince Charles, and her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, at the picnic at Frogmore Cottage.
Although they must have both been happy to see Lilibet, no pictures of their initial meeting were released to the public. In fact, Queen Elizabeth forbade Harry and Meghan from having a photographer present, as The Sun revealed.
An insider told The Sun, “Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment Lilibet met the Queen.” But nobody gave them a chance. It was a private gathering with family.
The tiny child had a bloodshot eye, so the queen refused to have a picture taken with her, according to royal researcher Camilla Tominey. According to Tominey, the queen requested not to be in any pictures that would be released to the public.
Harry was said to have mentioned wanting a picture with her “at some point in the future,” according to a report that Tominey reported at the time in The Telegraph.
The queen at the time, according to royal expert Phil Dampier, had a “lack of trust” in Harry and Meghan because they had participated in the controversial Oprah Winfrey interview just a few months prior. She therefore wished to avoid having her great-granddaughter pictured.
“The Queen remained as sharp as a pin, despite her health struggles. She became aware that any photo she had taken with Lilibet might have been used for malicious purposes, Dampier told The Sun.
“I don’t believe she was overly happy that the name Lilibet was selected in the first place and was given to her as a fait accompli. Putting her foot down, she ruled against taking pictures.
A friend of Meghan Markle made fun of Kate Middleton for turning down Lilibet’s birthday invitation.
According to reports, the children of Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips were the only ones that attended the celebration. Princess Kate, Prince William, and their kids decided not to go. Things haven’t really gotten much better since then; tensions were still very high.
The official explanation for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s absence from Lilibet’s birthday celebration was that they had other obligations that day. But during the Sussexes’ visit to the UK, Christopher Andersen, a royal specialist, told Us Weekly that the future king and queen made “no effort” to introduce George, Charlotte, and Louis to Lilibet.
One of Meghan Markle’s pals was displeased when Prince William and Kate Middleton turned down the invitation to Lilibet’s first birthday picnic at Frogmore Cottage.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actress Garcelle Beauvais discussed the absence of the now-Prince and Princess of Wales from the birthday celebration in an interview with E!.
She called Kate’s choice to skip the event “shady.”
“What’s happening is that I’m shampooing my hair and we’re out of town—what a coincidence. There is some shade there, Beauvais said to E!.
“They are unable to postpone the flight for a few hours in order to meet Lilibet and Archie?”
Family conflicts are never pleasant, and they frequently become much more complicated when children are involved.
Harry hasn’t seen his nephews and niece in a while due to the ongoing “battle of the brothers” and Harry and Meghan’s relocation to the US. Tom Quinn, a royal biographer, claims that Harry is “devastated” at the division.
Princess Lilibet turns three, and the celebration is kept low-key.
Quinn informed the Mirror, “We know that Harry’s deepest upset concerns not only his lack of relationship with George, Charlotte, and Louis, but also his own children’s lack of a relationship with their cousins.”
“Harry and Meghan would really like to find a solution to the issue. They would really like it if the cousins could get together frequently and have a good connection as they grow up, but they are unable to see how that can happen while they are still at odds. Harry expressed his wish that the cousins could maintain their friendship as adults.
Tuesday, June 4, 2024 was Lilibet’s third birthday. As previously indicated, Lilibet’s first birthday was observed in the UK. In California, her second birthday was supposedly celebrated with a “celeb-packed all-American bash,” while this year’s event is supposedly more subdued.
People Magazine stated that a “pre-birthday bash” kicked off the birthday celebrations for Lilibet. Harry, Meghan, and their kids threw a celebration in their Montecito house over the weekend to honor their daughter. “Close friends, family, and some of Lili’s friends” were among the attendees.
When Meghan Markle was in Nigeria, she shared new information on Lilibet.
Harry and Meghan have made the decision to keep their kids out of the spotlight, and they seldom ever post updates or images of Archie and Lilibet. When the kids debuted in their Netflix series in December 2022, among other things, royal fans learned that Archie spoke with an American accent.
In order to promote the Invictus Games, Harry and Meghan traveled to Nigeria for three days a few weeks ago. Meghan said that Lilibet’s “favorite class” was “singing and dancing” while visiting a school in Abuja. This was probably because to “all the jumping around.”
In addition, the Duchess conversed with a few students and gave a brief speech about her daughter.
It’s interesting to note that Lili, our daughter, is far smaller than any of you. It’s almost her third birthday. And a few weeks prior, all she would see when she gazed at me was my eye’s reflection. “Mama, I see myself in you,” she exclaimed. Meghan remarked, “Oh, now she was talking really, literally,” according to the Mirror.
But my interpretation of those words was quite different. And I realized that while I do see myself and you, and you see me and you, I also see myself in each and every one of you as I glance around this room.
Though Archie and Lilibet have remained out of the spotlight for the time being, the Sussexes may decide to change that.
