The 76-year-old actress launched her career in 1965 with the lead part in \u201cGidget.\u201d She has since made several TV appearances, motion pictures, and Broadway performances.<\/p>\n
Field has also been open about her struggles in her personal life. She discusses her stepfather\u2019s sexual abuse of her as well as her battles with depression, self-doubt, and loneliness in her 2018 memoir \u201cIn Pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n
On November 6, 1946, Sally Field was born in Pasadena, California. Her mother was the actress Margaret Field (n\u00e9e Morlan), and her father was a salesman named Richard Dryden Field.<\/p>\n
Her mother married actor and stuntman Jock Mahoney following her parent\u2019s divorce. Richard Field, Sally\u2019s brother, and Princess O\u2019Mahoney, her half-sister, are both living.<\/p>\n
Sally Field married Steven Craig in 1968, and they had two sons, Peter and Eli. They divorced in 1975, and she married Alan Greisman in 1984.<\/p>\n
They had one son together, Samuel, before divorcing in 1994. From 1976 to 1980, she dated Burt Reynolds, a difficult relationship she discusses in her memoir.<\/p>\n
She recounts his controlling behavior and how he convinced Field not to attend the Emmy ceremony where she won for \u201cSybil.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reynolds actually died just before her book\u2019s release, and in his own memoir, he called their failed relationship \u201cthe biggest regret of my life\u201d in his 2015 memoir \u201cBut Enough About Me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Fields said they hadn\u2019t spoken for 30 years before his passing. \u201cHe was not someone I could be around,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was just not good for me in any way. And he had somehow invented in his rethinking of everything that I was more important to him than he had thought, but I wasn\u2019t. He just wanted to have the thing he didn\u2019t have. I just didn\u2019t want to deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
