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.
The woman entered the hospital with a blanket covering what everyone assumed was a child, but as she disclosed what she had brought, the doctors and nurses fell silent. Take a look at what she hid:
Shelby Hennick, a 21-year-old lady, went viral after making a touching gesture for her grandma, who was in serious condition in the hospital.
The woman’s grandmother had been suffering from lung problems and was in pain. Her only relief was the wish to see Patsy, her dog, whom she had missed terribly during her hospital stay.
Shelby went above and beyond to devise a crafty scheme to bring a smile to her grandmother’s face.
She planned to wrap Patsy in a blanket and sneak her into the hospital so her grandmother could see her beloved dog again. However, the hospital’s tight rules prohibited dogs, leaving the grandmother depressed.
Shelby utilized her expertise as a veterinarian to calm the worried pup, who was originally highly restless and disturbed, before continuing on the dangerous tour. Shelby appeased Patsy and slipped her into the hospital unannounced with a delicate touch and gentle words.
The surprise reunion was a huge success, and the grandmother was ecstatic to see Patsy again finally. Shelby’s care and love for her grandma not only improved the grandmother’s day but also touched the hearts of millions worldwide, who have since complimented Shelby’s consideration and love for her grandmother.
Shelby strolled boldly inside the hospital, Patsy disguised beneath a blanket. Despite the look of a hidden baby, Patsy was her beloved dog.
Her sudden entrance into the room startled Shelby’s grandmother. Patsy was coming to see her, and she had no idea. Shelby finally unveiled her furry pet, which delighted the grandmother. The expression of love brought the grandmother to tears.
Others were encouraged to share their happy stories when they shared them on Facebook. A stranger commented that he, too, had taken his grandfather’s dog to see him in the hospital, despite the difficulties in getting it in.
