Sally Field- That's what she's going to be remembered for???

Quick hijack: who was supposedly making those noises? The Principal, or Mrs. Gump? I’ve wondered that since 1994.

Is this a whoosh? The **bedsprings **were making that noise.

[yojimbo]

I was born in 1971. She’ll always be Frog from the Bandit movies AFAIC.

1. The Flying Nun.
2. Her acceptance speech for the Oscar for Norma Rae, as Stephe96 quoted
3. Smokey and the Bandit (and, for that matter, being Burt Reynolds’s squeeze for a while there)

Flying Nun

Her entire career deleted itself in my brain after about the 9,000th time I heard her say “Boniva.”

That name is so damn irritating. It’s a pill for your bones, and it’s called bone-eeva. It’s like a spike to the brain every time I hear it. It’d be like a pill for your heart called Hearticin. Stupid.

Anyway, I’m sort of a young’n, so I mostly know her from Mrs. Doubtfire.

My only regret…is that I have… boneitis.

I’ll always remember her for playing my mom’s mom in that movie they did.

[N9IWP]

She also is/was in “Brothers and Sisters” which althogh I’ve seen maybe 5 episodes of came first to mind since it is the most recent thing I’ve seen her in other than commercials.

Sally Field is a very, very, accomplished and professional actress.
I’ll always remember her as “Giget” in the two-piece bathing suit! :eek:
I hope she continues her career for many years to come. (She’s a sweetie!)

[Kalypso]

I’ll second remembering her as Abby’s bi-polar mom in ER. I cried a good bit watching those episodes.

She’s Frog to me. I picture her in her wedding dress standing next to the highway. And also dancing her feet on the windshield of Bandit’s Trans Am.

Nobody thought “Gidget”? Nobody?

I did! That’s always what I think of first with relation to Sally Field. To me, she is and always will be Gidget.

And yes, I’m old, I guess. I was a young kid when Gidget was popular, and I wanted to be a fun cute surfing teenager like she was.

[Find_Friends]

Gidget! Yeah!

And “Places in the Heart” – yeah! I can’t comment on “Stay Hungry” since I’ve never seen it. Maybe I should at least look it up.

[ElvisL1ves]

How can so many people who thought “The Flying Nun” first not think of “Gidget” instead?

Oh, well, she’s done a remarkable job of staying hot over the decades since.

[Covered_In_Bees]

Oh, well, she’s done a remarkable job of staying hot over the decades since.

She looks pretty good for her age I admit, but hot? That requires photographic evidence. Back your claims good sir!

[psychobunny]

Back to say that my first thought was The Flying Nun, followed by Norma Rae and then ER. Actually, I could list dozens of her roles. I just thought it was interesting that Mrs. Doubtfire was the only thing that came to mind for the DJs; she’s done a lot since then, not only before then.

Or Anusol. But honestly, I just now got that Bone -> Boniva thing. I think I was thinking of bon = good. :smack:

I remember her for Norma Rae, Places in the Heart, and Soapdish.

[Skammer]

I always think of Smokey and the Bandit first, then “You really like me!”, then Norma Rae.

That’s the most recent thing I’ve seen her in, but the role I remember most is the main character in Murphy’s Romance.

So, who has Sally in the Doper Dead Pool anyway?
