Hollywood has never made it easy for women, and Sally Field has spent decades pushing back against the unspoken rules meant to limit them. Rather than conform, she has chosen to live — and age — on her own terms.
Audiences have adored her for generations through unforgettable performances in films such as Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Steel Magnolias. Yet some of her most powerful work has happened off-screen, where she has openly challenged ageism, bullying, and the pressure placed on women to remain forever young in the entertainment industry.
Now 78, Field still carries the warmth and presence that defined her early career, even as she continues to face harsh commentary about her appearance. Instead of retreating from that criticism, she has addressed it head-on.
Early life and career
Field’s path to success was not without hardship. In her 2018 memoir, she revealed that she endured sexual abuse by her stepfather, Jock Mahoney — a painful truth she shared publicly years later, according to The New York Times.
