Sally Field has long been considered one of the most talented and versatile actresses in Hollywood. At 76, the two-time Academy Award winner has built a legendary career filled with unforgettable performances and countless on-screen romances.
With such a rich filmography, Field has had her fair share of on-screen kisses. Recently, she opened up in a candid interview about which one stood out as the worst—though she hesitated to name names at first.
A Storied Career in Hollywood
Born in Pasadena, California, Sally Field grew up in a showbiz family, though her childhood came with challenges she would later reflect on in her memoir. Despite those struggles, she rose to become one of the most beloved actresses of her generation.
From her breakout roles in Gidget and The Flying Nun to iconic performances in Smokey and the Bandit, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Erin Brockovich, Field has proven her ability to transform into almost any character. Her performance in Steel Magnolias, especially the powerful funeral scene, remains one of the most moving in film history.
Even today, Field continues to work steadily. She appeared in the 2020 TV series Dispatches From Elsewhere and more recently starred in HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, where she played Jessie Buss.
