Keeping up with the Hollywood glam sometimes means defying age with the help of procedures and plastic surgeries. It’s not a secret that many celebrities opt to go under the knife for the sake of the good and youthful looks and the opportunities that looks brings.
However, not everyone who is part of the film industry is willing to follow this trend, and actress Sally Field is one of them.
Having been part of films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump, and having received plenty of awards for her acting, including Two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two SAG Awards, and most recently the Life Achievement Award, it’s safe to say Field has a career she can brag about.
Regardless of her age, 76, she still looks as stunning as ever and accepts her natural appearance. During her speech for the SAG Achievement Award she wore a magnificent black gown and embraced her naturally grey hair.
“I felt guarded, reserved, and out of the spotlight. But I was never sure what I’d say or do on stage. I would astonish myself,” the actress said. “I wasn’t hoping for praise or attention, though it’s excellent.”
She continued: “Acting has always been about preserving those priceless moments when I feel whole, thoroughly, and occasionally dangerously alive. Finding a path there has always been a challenge.
“They allowed me to open up and let me know things about myself that I never would have known otherwise. I’ve been working all my life. She continued for almost 60 years; there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t been genuinely happy to identify as an actor.”
Back in 2016, she was asked how she felt about playing an elderly, eccentric woman, Doris Miller.
“It’s okay that I’m an old woman; 70 is old. My years have given me strength; I have earned the right to have them, and I have owned them. And even if I dislike my neck and many other things, it’s alright,” Field told NPR.
And when it comes the natural process of aging, Field opts to stay true to herself despite the fact that the fight against ageism in Hollywood is a real one. “’Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck,’ I think when I watch myself on television. Additionally, your eyes are bulging, and your face is collapsing. Then, though, I come across some of the women (who have undergone plastic surgery) who I once thought were stunning. Oh no, I’m feeling right now. Avoid doing it! And that would seem disrespectful to who they are right now,” she once said.
Field was married two times and went through two divorces. In 1986, she married Steven Craig with whom she welcomed two sons. The couple untied the knot in 1975.
She then dated Burt Reynolds before she married film producer Alan Greisman. Field and Greisman share a son together.
Eventually, she decided to commit all her time to her career but it was when she became a grandmother that her life took on a new dimension.
She embraced the new role and loves spending time with her grandchildren at her wonderful beach house with ocean views.
We love Sally Field.
Jennifer Grey expresses her feelings about Patrick Swayze.
The iconic 1987 movie Dirty Dancing is a beloved classic that is nearly always at the top of people’s lists.
The film’s lead actor, the late Patrick Swayze, gained international recognition for his role in this beloved picture, and Jennifer Grey, who costarred with him, is still very much a part of its history.
Because she played “Baby” in Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey is well-known throughout the world. The narrative follows Baby and her family while they stay at a resort, highlighting her romantic encounter with Swayze’s disobedient dance teacher.
Many viewers have requested a sequel to this picture, which has quickly become a classic. Grey has only agreed to produce it—despite their demands—if a number of strict requirements are satisfied in order to respect Patrick Swayze and the film’s enduring popularity.
Years after the film’s release, Jennifer Grey was frequently asked about her experience working on Dirty Dancing. She acknowledged that she and Patrick Swayze had no relationship, but their physical appearances drew them together.
Lionsgate surprised everyone in April 2022 at Cinemacon by revealing their plans to create a sequel to the cult classic.
The next time Grey appeared was during an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she discussed the idea for a future sequel.
Jennifer Grey recently talked about the upcoming Dirty Dancing sequel. She made it clear that when it came to offering the best possible flick, she would not make any exceptions.
She added that a few of the original cast members would be back in the movie. Furthermore, Johnny Castle, played by Patrick Swayze, will not have a successor; instead, his narrative and essence will be carried over into a different part in the follow-up.
Grey emphasized that the success of the movie depended on this difficult project.
When Patrick Swayze passed away in 2009, the entertainment industry and Jennifer Grey, his longtime co-star and companion, were devastated.
Despite their disagreements, Grey remarked after Swayze’s passing her deep sadness and remorse for not appreciating him more while he was still living.
In her memoirs, Out of the Corner, she paid a heartfelt homage to her past love, wishing she could have accepted him for who he was instead of expecting him to be someone else.
We wish Jennifer Grey all the best for her future goals, despite her tragic circumstances.
