A lot of people have said nice things about the famous actress Sally Field for how well she plays strong women on TV. But on her way to success, she ran into a lot of bad luck that changed both her career and her personal life.

As a young actress, her first role was on the comedic TV show “Gidget” from 1965 to 1966. This was one of the early highlights of her career.

Even though the show only ran for a short time, Sally loved filming it. It opened up a lot of doors for her and made her famous in Hollywood.

She was able to do what she did thanks to her drive and determination. Sally had a rough childhood, in part because of her stepfather. But trying out for a Columbia Pictures acting school gave her comfort and a way to get away.

After becoming famous, Sally played Sister Bertrille on the sitcom “The Flying Nun” from 1967 to 1970. From 1973 to 1975, she improved her acting skills at Actors Studios and became a dramatic actor.

The movie “Sybil,” which came out in 1976, was her big break in Hollywood. It got the attention of the business and led to regular roles.
