I never realized how iconic this woman is, she played Norma Rae, Momma Gump, The Flying Nun and Lady Lincoln

In the gay community, her *Celeste Talbert* ("Soapdish") and *M'Lynn Eatenton* ("Steel Magnolias") are very iconic and quotable!

It’s crazy how Sally Field has given all her characters an eternal life. It’s almost as if Gidget, Norma Rae, Mama Gump and Mary Todd Lincoln were playing Sally Field.

I loved Sally's performance as Norma. She portrayed Norma Rae as a woman who was hampered by circumstance, economy and unequal social views, but was so determined to turn her life around that when the opportunity presented itself she shed everything to see it through. A loyal, kind, ballsy woman and a role that probably helped inspire the performances by Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep in similar films like Erin Brockovich and Silkwood. She was every bit deserving.

What a line up of iconic actresses! I’d forgotten how amazing the nominees all were that year. And Richard Dreyfus was too adorable and charming for words. Wish he’d do more acting these days- really miss him! And what can you say about Sally except that we all felt we knew her personally, she never, ever disappointed in any role she played, and we’ve all been so lucky to enjoy her talent all these years. We need to see more of her, too. She is very much missed. And of course, she totally knocked it out of the park with Norma Rae and so deserved to win that Oscar. Side note; Beau Bridges was REALLY cute in that movie!

+SJ Miller Of all the rationalized explanations I have ever heard to justify an Oscar pick you happen to disagree with, yours has to be the most asinine. Yes, I'm sure academy voters as well as New York and Los Angeles critics, the Cannes Film Festival (that's over in Europe, you know), and every other single body who honored Sally Field's searing performance had Ronald raygun and organized labor on their minds when they filled out their ballots. What indispensable insight you have. Too bad your ability to evaluate the art of screen acting is so lacking. Sally's Norma Rae was a thing of beauty. ps I liked Midler, too. Just not as much.

@TheChannelTV-bt8em 8 жыл бұрын

+Mark Whitman Not that far behind. Don't take anything away from Jane Fonda's anchorwoman in The China Syndrome. That was a very smart, complex interpretation, finding chances and hitting points a lot of other actresses would have overlooked. And Jill Clayburgh got a surprising mileage out of her light comedy role in Starting Over. She acted Reynolds right out of the picture, virtually playing out a love story with only one participant.

All of the nominees were outstanding, but Sally Field's performance was a revelation because it was so dissimilar to her previous work with Reynolds, etc. Her work was no aberration as evidenced by her second Oscar win for Places In The Heart and her wonderful work in Spielberg's Lincoln opposite Daniel Day Lewis, a role that she campaigned for. Midler was deserving as well, and she never really got the opportunity to showcase her talents like this on film again, with the possible exception of Beaches. Marsha Mason was superb in Chapter Two opposite James Caan. Clayburgh was exceptional in An Unmarried Woman.

I grew up during The Flying Nun era. She was tired of being typecast as the "girl next door" and went off to study under acting coach legend Lee Strasberg which lead to her serious acting career. Her first movie with her new acting chops was the starring role in a TV movie called "Sybil". She won a well deserved Emmy for her work. I remember the movie well. It was devastating and she was absolutely brilliant! As a fan of hers since I was a little girl, I was so impressed and proud of her! It didn't surprise me at all when she won those two Oscars! 🙂
