Beloved ’80s star has acted with Julia Roberts, dated Burt Reynolds and won an Oscar. And there is a Tom Brady link. Who is she?

She is a beloved movie star that was on top of her game in the 1980s and 1990s, though still works today as her popularity never seemed to fade.

This brunette certainly has acting chops as she has won two Academy Awards and three Emmy Awards.

The thespian has acted with many big name A-list actors over the decades. She has shared the screen with Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman, Robin Williams, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dolly Parton.

She last worked with Tom Brady. And this star even had a role in a Spider-Man movie.

Her love life is pretty interesting too as she dated Burt Reynolds.

On Thursday the legend was seen in Los Angeles with no makeup on and her hair covered making her unrecognizable as she walked her dog.

Can you guess who she is? 

She is a beloved 1980s movie star with two Academy Awards who has worked with Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman and Arnie. Who is she?

She is Sally Field.

Field was seen in Los Angeles as she walked her small black dog with a red leash.

She had on a blue-and-white striped shirt with Capri slacks and comfortable un-tied white sneakers.

Glasses were seen dangling around her neck as she added a blue bucket hat. 

This movie star is 77-years-old and still very much in the acting game.

Field is best known for her hit films Norma Rae, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump and 80 For Brady. 

She was born Sally Margaret Field in 1946 in Pasadena, California.

Her first big role was on the series Gidget from 1965 until 1966.

She then starred in The Flying Nun from 1967 until 1970, and The Girl With Something Extra from 1973 to 1974. 

Then she moved to movies.

Her starring roles were in The Way West (1967), Stay Hungry (1976), Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Heroes (1977), The End (1978), and Hooper (1978). She won Academy Awards for Best Actress for Norma Rae (1979), and Places in the Heart (1984). 

Other notable roles include in Smokey and the Bandit II (1980), Absence of Malice (1981), Kiss Me Goodbye (1982), Murphy’s Romance (1985), Steel Magnolias (1989), Soapdish (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), and Forrest Gump (1994).

Her superhero film was The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its 2014 sequel – she played Aunt May.

And her film with Tom Brady was 80 For Brady in 2023. 

In the 2000s, Field was on TV’s ER and then she did Brothers & Sisters (2006 to 2011).

In 1977, Field co-starred with Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit.

She dated Burt and the two became a Hollywood power couple.

Field appeared with Reynolds in three more films: The End, Hooper, and Smokey and the Bandit II.

They were together from 1976 until 1980. They then got back together again briefly but called it quits for good in 1982.

Field was married to Steven Craig from 1968 to 1975, though they separated in 1973.

The couple had two sons: Peter Craig, a novelist and screenwriter; and Eli Craig, an actor and director.

Field married her second husband, Alan Greisman, in 1984.

Together, they had one son, Sam, who was born 1987. Field and Greisman divorced in 1994.

She was also a daring cover girl in the 1980s. 

Field appeared on the cover of the March 1986 issue of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine, in which she was the interview subject. 

She did not appear as a pictorial subject in the magazine, although she did wear the classic leotard and bunny-ears outfit on the cover. 

This sighting comes after Sally said Roberts was subjected to ‘awful’ bullying on the set of Steel Magnolias.

The actress was part of an all-star cast for the 1989 drama film alongside Shirley MacLaine and Dolly Parton.

Allegedly, then-newcomer Julia – who was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the tragic Shelby – was always being ‘picked on’ by director Herbert Ross.

Sally and her colleagues had to ‘come to her aid’ and ‘rally around her’ during production, she said.

After Steel Magnolias came out, Julia turned into a superstar with her movie Pretty Woman. 

She told Vulture: ‘[Herb] was pretty much giving me the freedom to do whatever. I mean, Herb was very, very, very hard on Julia. 

‘If you ever talk to Julia, she’ll tell you.

‘We would all rally around Julia, because she was the baby. She was sort of the newcomer. And she was wonderful, and he just picked on her. It was awful.’

Field added, ‘Because he could be a real son of a b****, that’s why. Some people just need to have somebody they pick on. 

‘But we all came to her aid, and I remember Dolly once just turned on him — always with humor, but usually the most vulgar humor you ever heard so that it was like, you just literally don’t have a leg to stand on.’

The Academy Award-winning star was then asked if she was subjected to the same sort of behavior from Ross. 

She insisted that would never have happened because she is a ‘warrior’ despite her small stature.

Field said: ‘No. Because he dared not. I mean, I don’t mind notes, but I will argue if it doesn’t make sense to me. 

‘But if you’re gonna be mean to me, then you’re gonna find a warrior. I may be small, but you don’t want to do that.’

Director Ross died in 2001 in New York City at the age of 74 due to heart failure.
