Sally Field (Gidget)
Sally Field is now a famous, even iconic actress, but she started out as “Gidget” on the ABC TV Series Gidget (1965-1966). Then, she went on to star in The Flying Nun (1967-1970). Her career has been non-stop from there, and she has starred in some of the greatest movies of her tune, so it’s no wonder she has won the multiple Academy Award for “Best Actress” in both Norma Rae and Places in the Heart.
The award-winning actress has also been crushed with loss, tragedy and disappointment, with her mother’s passing after a battle with cancer, which affected her deeply. She was also devastated when reports surfaced that her Emmy-Award winning role of “Sybil” was based on a hoax.
