Biography
American actress known for her extensive work on screen and stage; she has received many accolades throughout her career spanning over five decades, including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Primetime Emmy Awards, in addition to nominations for a Tony Award and two British Academy Film Awards.
She went directly into show biz from high school with a TV debut as the title character in Gidget(1965-1966). This was followed by the series The Flying Nun (1967-1970), and the series The Girl With Something Extra (1973-1974). From a series of roles in which she was usually described as "adorable," she won a TV Emmy in 1977 for a stunning melodrama, Sybil. Her versatility covered comedy and drama as she developed the skills of her craft.
In 1979, Fields made Norma Rae for which she won a Best Actress Oscar, and in 1982, Places in the Heart, which reaped a second Academy Award. For her recurring role on the NBC medical drama ER she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2001. For her role of Nora Walker in the ABC drama series Brothers & Sisters (2006-2011), Field won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
In an early interview she said, "I was born happy." She may have changed that opinion in retrospect, as she was bulimic at age 20 for three years. A straight-A student, she is noted for her photographic memory. Always the picture of the wholesome girl-next-door, even her hobbies are heartland America, needlepoint and gardening.
In 2005, Field was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Her diagnosis led her to create the "Rally with Sally for Bone Health" campaign with support from Roche and GlaxoSmithKline that controversially co-promoted Boniva, a bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis. Field's campaign encouraged the early diagnosis of such conditions through technology such as bone-density scans.
In September 1968, Field married her childhood beau, Steve Craig; they had two sons, Peter and Eli; they divorced in 1975. Field began a long-term romance with Burt Reynolds when they made their first film together, Smokey and the Bandit (1976). She married a second time in 1985 to one-year-younger Alan Greisman; one son, Sam, was born in 1987; they divorced in 1994.
