Sally Field Reflects on Her Legacy at 79, and Reveals the One Type of Role She 'Never' Says Yes To (Exclusive)

Sally Field shares stories from over six decades in Hollywood

NEED TO KNOW

• “I can't stand at a distance to see. [Acting] is what I do,” she tells PEOPLE

• Her new film, Remarkably Bright Creatures, begins streaming on Netflix Friday

WhenSally Fieldbroke out asGidgetin 1965, America quickly embraced her carefree California teen surfer. But stronger currents churned beneath the surface.

At 18, “there was a part of me that was very much like Gidget. I knew how to make people laugh, but there was a darkness that was yet to be explored,” Field, 79, says in this week's issue of PEOPLE.

Field—who’s now starring in the Netflix movieRemarkably Bright Creatures—would relentlessly probe deeper places over the next six decades, cementing her place in Hollywood history with two Oscar wins, three Emmys and a Tony nomination. All of it was hard-won, and a sharp turn from her sunny start.

Following three “incredibly difficult” years on the absurdist sitcomThe Flying Nun(“I had just turned 19. I didn’t want to be a nun!” she says of a role she was pressured to take afterGidget) Field effectively landed in Hollywood jail, unable to land any decent auditions.

"I had to say to myself that if I wasn't where I wanted to be, I had to get better," says Field, who was by then raising two small children, Peter, 56, and Eli, 53 with then-husband Steven Craig. She poured herself into working on her craft at the Actors Studio, and a turning point came with a small role 1976’sStay Hungry,followed by 1977’sSmokey and the Banditwith Burt Reynolds.

Then came her Oscar-winning breakthrough, 1979’s union dramaNorma Rae.

It was on that set Field began to explore the impact of a traumatic childhood, during which, she would later reveal in her 2018 memoirIn Pieces, her stepfather had emotionally and sexually abused her.

"Being a little girl raised in the '50s and having a very complicated childhood with my stepfather and even my mother at times, I was filled with rage. Really filled with rage," she says. "And it was working with [acting coach] Lee Strasburg that allowed me to begin to tap into it, to not let it devour me."

ShootingNorma Rae, “I asked [director] Marty Ritt, ‘How angry can I be here?’ He said, ‘How angry are you?’” Field recalls. “And I said, ‘Angry.’ And so that was the first time I was ever really able to learn how to tap into my own rage on film."

Deeply emotional work became Field's calling card across genres and decades including 1981’sAbsence of Maliceopposite Paul Newman, 1984’sPlaces in the Heart(for which she won a second Oscar), 1993’sMrs. Doubtfire, 1994’sForrest Gump,Emmy-winning roles on NBC'sERand ABC'sBrothers & Sisters(2006-2011) and 2012’sLincoln(which earned Field another Oscar nomination).

Memorable friendships were forged along the way. Shortly after the birth of her third son, Sam, 38 (from her second marriage to Alan Greisman), Field shot 1989'sSteel Magnoliasalongside Olympia Dukakis, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts. "Sam was on the set all the time and my friends took care of him," she says of her costars. "We all just rolled him around, and Dolly [wiggling] her fingernails [at him]."

Today the legendary actress and grandmother of five is as resilient as she is an open book. But there’s one type of role that’s still easy to turn down: “I never take to stories about women that are trying to find a man,” she says. “I didn’t like it then, and it doesn’t appeal to me now, because I think women are about so much more. Life is so much more complicated than that.”

And her legacy?  It’s not something she feels moved to weigh. “I can't stand at a distance to see. [Acting] is what I do,” she says simply. “I'm supposed to go into rehearsals for a play at the end of summer. I still have my head down, and I'm always hoping to get better.”

Dolly Parton, Zayn, more nixing tour dates. See 2026 cancellations

Some of your favorite musical artists are sitting this tour cycle out.

From country legendDolly Partontothe Pussycat Dolls,several musical acts have either modified recent touring schedules or canceled all their stops completely in recent months.

The reasons behind the changes vary, with some artists citinghealth issuesand others hinting at a lack of audience interest.

"When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world," the Pussycat Dolls said in aMay 4 Instagram post. "After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates."

Other artists, includingMeghan TrainorandPost Malone, have also pulled the plug on their tours, offering similar but different statements about specific constraints. Malone, however, elected to "push the tour back" while Trainor canceled all Get In Girl Tour shows.

"I came to the realization that what we're trying to do, and what's possible, isn't really lining up," Malone wrote in a May 1 Instagram story. "We ain't ready for tour just yet..."

Here's a list of artists who have recently canceled their tours.

Dolly Parton

Amidst ongoing health issues, country legendDolly Partonmade the decision to cancel her previously postponed Las Vegas residency.

"It's going to take me a little while before I'm up to stage-performance level," the "Jolene" singer said in a May 4 update. "Well, you get on to Vegas. You have a big time, and hopefully, some time you'll come up to New York and maybe see my show."

"I've still got some healing to do, but I am on my way!" Parton added. "See you soon."

Zayn

Zayn Malik, like Parton, is stepping back from the spotlight and stage to focus on hishealth.

The former One Direction memberrevealed in a May 1 Instagram story that he was reducing the number of shows on his Konnakol Tour due to ongoing health concerns. The "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" singer canceled all of the dates on the upcoming leg of his U.S. tour.

"I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before. I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can," he said in the post.

"I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z," Malik added.

Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster were automatically refunded to customers; however, those who purchased tickets through a third-party reseller, such as StubHub or SeatGeek, were encouraged to contact their respective vendor for additional information.

The Pussycat Dolls

The upcomingPussycat Dollsreunion will go on, just not in America. The girl groupannounced May 4that they were canceling all but one of their North American shows.

The"Buttons" singersare still performing at West Hollywood Pride's OUTLOUD Music Festival on June 6, as planned.

"We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time," the Pussycat Dolls said in an Instagram post. "We're working hard to create the kind of show we've always dreamed of bringing to you."

The tour, which was to kick off in June, features just three original members:Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts. The group did not directly offer a reason for the move.

They said refunds for direct sales would be issued automatically, while anyone who purchased tickets through third-party sellers would need to contact their point of purchase.

Post Malone and Jelly Roll

Post Malonetweaked his tour schedule. In a May 1 Instagram story, the rap-turned-country star announced that he was "pushing the tour back," canceling five shows across the United States as a result of the schedule shift.

"I came to the realization that what we're trying to do, and what's possible, isn't really lining up," Malone wrote in a May 1 Instagram story. "We ain't ready for tour just yet, so I'm making the decision to push the tour back."

According toRolling Stone, the schedule shift comes as the nine-time diamond-certified star finishes his 40-song double album "The Eternal Buzz." The series of canceled shows was scheduled to take place between May 13 and May 29.

Even with the stadium dates pushed back, Post Malone is still scheduled to play festival shows in New Mexico (May 16), Florida (May 31) and South Carolina (June 7), all of whichremain posted on his website.Post Malone did not cite ticket sales as a reason for the schedule changes.

Malone'sBig Ass Stadium Tourwith fellow country artistJelly Rollkicked off April 10 and resumes in Charlotte, North Carolina, on June 9.

Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainorwon't be taking the show on the road, revealing that she canceled her upcoming tour to be there forher family.

"After a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I've made the difficult decision to cancel theGet In Girl Tour," Trainor said in an April 16 Instagram story. The announcement came one week before the release of Trainor's seventh album, "Toy With Me."

"Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour, and welcoming our new baby girl to our growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now, and I need to be home and present for each and all of them at this time," she said.

Trainor apologized to her fans, "I am so sorry to let you down."

"But I know this is the right decision for my family and me right now," she added. "I promise I’ll be back soon, and I can’t wait for you to hear this new record. I’m so proud of it, and I’m endlessly grateful for your love and support always."

The "All About That Bass" songstress and her husband,Daryl Sabara, welcomed theirthird child together, a daughter, via surrogacy on Jan. 18. They also share two sons – Riley, 4, and Barry, 2.
