Keeping up with the Hollywood glam sometimes means defying age with the help of procedures and plastic surgeries. It’s not a secret that many celebrities opt to go under the knife for the sake of the good and youthful looks and the opportunities that looks brings.
However, not everyone who is part of the film industry is willing to follow this trend, and actress Sally Field is one of them.
Having been part of films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Norma Rae, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Forrest Gump, and having received plenty of awards for her acting, including Two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Film Award nominations, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two SAG Awards, and most recently the Life Achievement Award, it’s safe to say Field has a career she can brag about.
Regardless of her age, 76, she still looks as stunning as ever and accepts her natural appearance. During her speech for the SAG Achievement Award she wore a magnificent black gown and embraced her naturally grey hair.
“I felt guarded, reserved, and out of the spotlight. But I was never sure what I’d say or do on stage. I would astonish myself,” the actress said. “I wasn’t hoping for praise or attention, though it’s excellent.”
She continued: “Acting has always been about preserving those priceless moments when I feel whole, thoroughly, and occasionally dangerously alive. Finding a path there has always been a challenge.
“They allowed me to open up and let me know things about myself that I never would have known otherwise. I’ve been working all my life. She continued for almost 60 years; there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t been genuinely happy to identify as an actor.”
Back in 2016, she was asked how she felt about playing an elderly, eccentric woman, Doris Miller.
“It’s okay that I’m an old woman; 70 is old. My years have given me strength; I have earned the right to have them, and I have owned them. And even if I dislike my neck and many other things, it’s alright,” Field told NPR.
And when it comes the natural process of aging, Field opts to stay true to herself despite the fact that the fight against ageism in Hollywood is a real one. “’Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck,’ I think when I watch myself on television. Additionally, your eyes are bulging, and your face is collapsing. Then, though, I come across some of the women (who have undergone plastic surgery) who I once thought were stunning. Oh no, I’m feeling right now. Avoid doing it! And that would seem disrespectful to who they are right now,” she once said.
Field was married two times and went through two divorces. In 1986, she married Steven Craig with whom she welcomed two sons. The couple untied the knot in 1975.
She then dated Burt Reynolds before she married film producer Alan Greisman. Field and Greisman share a son together.
Eventually, she decided to commit all her time to her career but it was when she became a grandmother that her life took on a new dimension.
She embraced the new role and loves spending time with her grandchildren at her wonderful beach house with ocean views.
We love Sally Field.
A Sick Dog Dumped In Freezing Weather Who Kept Crawling And Trying To Keep Warm
No pup should ever know how heartbreaking it feels to be betrayed by their owners and to be left at the mercy of the streets.
Unfortunately, it’s a sad reality for many dogs.
Pick was one of the canines who ended up on the streets, feeling rejected and unloved. Heartless people dumped him at a local market in the freezing weather.
Trembling with cold, he crawled and tried to find a warm shelter.
Every time he saw people walking past him, he looked at them with his sad eyes as if he was begging them to help him.
Sadly, the passers-by failed to find compassion in their hearts and come to his aid.
After realizing that the people ignored him because he was sick, the pup started losing hope.
Little did he know that his life would soon change in ways he couldn’t even imagine.
Helping The Little Pup
A kind woman who visited the local market noticed the abandoned pup.
Her heart sank when she saw the terrible state he was in. The dog’s eyes were filled with hopelessness and sorrow. He had no fur on his wrinkled skin.
The compassionate human lifted the little canine from the cold concrete and he hid in her shopping bag. He felt scared.
The woman took him home and gave him a bath, hoping that he would feel better.
She drove the pup to the vet for a thorough medical examination.
He was diagnosed with a severe skin disease, and he needed to be quarantined.
The dog’s legs were deformed. The vet reassured the rescuer that the pup would make a full recovery as soon as he got enough calcium.
The Dog Begins Fighting For His Recovery
The good woman brought the little canine home. She and her family showered him with a lot of love and positive affirmations.
She decided to name him Pick and give him a forever home.
The dog felt grateful to his new mom for giving him a second chance at life.
Pick felt determined to fully recover. His skin was itchy, but he never complained. His mom’s love gave him the strength to keep on fighting.
She often took him outside so that he could get natural calcium.
Pick made an effort to walk again. He often stumbled, but he refused to give up.
Little by little, he started feeling better.
Two weeks after his rescue, Pick regained his strength. He started running and smiling more.
He brought a lot of happiness to his mom. Every time she returned home from work, Pick welcomed her, wagging his tail.
His legs recovered completely.
Pick Turns Into A Healthy And Handsome Pup
A month and a half later, the dog’s fur grew back. Pick became a handsome pup. He felt confident and happy, and his eyes shone brighter than ever.
His mom took him swimming for the first time in his life. Pick enjoyed it, and he couldn’t stop smiling.
Pick lives the life of his dreams with his mom, who loves him infinitely.
He went from an unwanted and sick pup whom everyone ignored to a healthy and happy pup.
Many thanks to his incredible mom for showing compassion to Pick when nobody else wanted to help him and for giving him all her love.
