Sally Field’s Plastic Surgery Dilemma (Photos)
Sally Field, 61, was first introduced to television in her teens on sitcoms Gidget and The Flying Nun. She won acclaim for her role in Sybil, and an Academy Award for Norma Rae. Other outstanding performances by the actress include her Academy Award winning portrayal in Places in the Heart and the heart wrenching Steel Magnolias.
In a career that has spanned four decades, she’s still on a roll, currently playing matriarch Nora Walker on the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters for which she won Emmy honors in 2007.
Field has made a seemingly easy transition from vivacious young actress to her current senior status. While many aging actresses find movie and television roles drying up, she continues to enjoy great success in both areas.
Fields is the spokesperson for Roche Laboratories for their osteoporosis treatment drug Boniva and also has an upcoming voice role as Marina del Ray the villain in Disney’s The Little Mermaid III, which is scheduled for direct DVD release later this year.
Sally Field, always known for her girl next door fresh looks, recently told Ladies Home Journal magazine for their May issue that she is considering plastic surgery:
I think about it all the time because I see friends who’ve done it and they look great and younger. I have an ego but it’s an actor’s ego more than a woman’s ego. It’s about roles.”
If the actress does opt to take the plunge, we trust that she will seek out the most reputable surgeon that money can buy. Other stars have altered their appearance with less than positive results. Check out Priscilla Presley’s nightmare HERE. See Joan Van Ark plastic surgery photos HERE.

What a disturbing story. To think that someone so naturally pretty, spirited and strong feels pressure to go fake. She’s one of the few actresses of her age that one can see onscreen without cringing. Don’t do it, Sally! Resist!
Thanks for the good story,

She has been there before and will likely be there again. She is 61 folks.
I really felt so badly when I read this. Of course, she has every right to do what feels best to her, but she is one of very few actresses who are role models to me in regards to aging. No matter how good surgery is, I can always tell. It has a tight, plastic, maintained look that is very unattractive.
It has come to the point where aging naturally is not accepted. Yet I find it much more attractive overall.
Sally will still be getting parts -and whether she has surgery or not, they will probably be as an older love interest, a mom, a grandmother, a business woman. For a woman who has made her career playing great character
roles to go this route, a woman who is truly lovely, is a pity and a disappointment. Soon, there will be no one to look up to.
