Sally Field Reacts to Her Life in Photos: Her Oscar Win, 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' 'Steel Magnolias' & More

Sally Field looks back on the defining moments of her life and career, from her early days as a reluctant TV star to becoming a two-time Oscar winner. She reflects on filming 'Mrs. Doubtfire' with Robin Williams, whom she calls a “diamond of a soul,” recalling how he comforted her when she got a call during filming that her father was about to pass away. Revisiting her first Academy Award for 'Norma Rae,' Field recalls being so shocked she barely remembers the moment, and explains why her now-iconic “You like me. Right now, you like me” speech during her second win was a chance to finally feel her achievement. Field also opens up about her childhood in Pasadena, her rise to fame with 'Gidget' and 'The Flying Nun,' and the challenges of being taken seriously as an actor. She shares stories of love and growth — from her relationship with Burt Reynolds that began during ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ to the deep bonds formed on 'Steel Magnolias.' Reflecting on motherhood and her three sons, she speaks candidly about parenting, legacy, and her latest project, ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures,’ produced by her son Peter.
