Beloved ’80s star has acted with Julia Roberts, dated Burt Reynolds and won an Oscar. And there is a Tom Brady link. Who is she?
She is a beloved movie star who was at the height of her powers in the 80s and 90s, but remains popular today as her popularity never seems to have waned.
This brunette beauty certainly has acting talent, as she has won two Academy Awards and three Emmy Awards.
The actress has starred alongside many A-list stars over the decades, sharing the screen with Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman, Robin Williams, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dolly Parton.
She last worked with Tom Brady. And this star even had a role in a Spider-Man movie.
Her love life is also quite interesting as she was in a relationship with Burt Reynolds.
On Thursday, the legend was spotted in Los Angeles without makeup and with her hair covered, making her unrecognizable as she walked her dog.
Do you know who she is?
She is a beloved 80s movie star with two Academy Awards who has worked with Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman and Arnie. Who is she?
She is Sally Field.
Field was spotted walking her little black dog on a red leash in Los Angeles.
She wore a blue and white striped shirt, capri pants and comfortable white sneakers with loose laces.
She had glasses dangling around her neck and was wearing a blue fisherman’s hat.
This movie star is 77 years old and still active in the acting world.
Field is best known for her hit films Norma Rae, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump and 80 For Brady.
She was born Sally Margaret Field in Pasadena, California in 1946.
Her first major role was in the series Gidget from 1965 to 1966.
She then starred in The Flying Nun from 1967 to 1970 and The Girl With Something Extra from 1973 to 1974.

Field was married to Steven Craig from 1968 to 1975, but they separated in 1973.
The couple had two sons: Peter Craig, a novelist and screenwriter, and Eli Craig, an actor and director.
Field married her second husband, Alan Greisman, in 1984.

She was also a daring cover girl in the 80s.
Field was featured on the cover of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine in March 1986, in which she was interviewed.
She was not pictured in the magazine, although she did wear the classic tights and bunny ears outfit on the cover.
This sighting comes after Sally said Roberts was the victim of “horrible” bullying on the set of Steel Magnolias.
The actress was part of the all-star cast for the 1989 drama film, alongside Shirley MacLaine and Dolly Parton.

In 1993’s Mrs Doubtfire starring Robin Williams, Pierce Brosnan, Lisa Jakub, Mara Wilson and Matthew Lawrence
Reportedly, then-newcomer Julia – who was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the tragic Shelby – was constantly “bullied” by director Herbert Ross.
Sally and her colleagues had to “help” and “roster” her during production, she said.
After Steel Magnolias was released, Julia rose to superstardom with her film Pretty Woman.
She told Vulture: ‘[Herb] gave me the freedom to do what I wanted, really. I mean, Herb was very, very, very strict with Julia.
If you ever talk to Julia, she’ll tell you.
“We would all be around Julia, because she was the baby. She was kind of the new kid. And she was amazing, and he was just picking on her. It was horrible.”
With Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump in 1994
Field added: ‘Because he could be a real son of a****, that’s why. Some people just need someone to pick on.
“But we all came to her aid and I can remember Dolly turning on him once. Always with humour, but usually with the most vulgar humour you’ve ever heard. It was like you literally didn’t have a leg to stand on.”
The Oscar-winning star was then asked if Ross did the same behavior to her.
She insisted that this would never happen because despite her small stature, she is a ‘warrior’.

Field said, “No. Because he didn’t dare. I mean, I don’t mind notes, but I’ll argue about it if it doesn’t make sense to me.
“But if you’re going to be mean to me, you’re going to find a warrior. I may be small, but you don’t want to do that.”
Director Ross died in 2001 in New York City at the age of 74 from heart failure.
