Sally Field responds to critics who called her “ugly”

As she ages, Field has been vocal about approaching getting older with grace, saying in a 2016 interview with Good Housekeeping that she has accepted her status as an “old woman”. During that interview, Field added that she’s chosen to age naturally, especially because growing older is inevitable.

The talented actress acknowledged the importance of respecting and appreciating how she looks now, rather than using plastic surgery to try too hard to recreate how she looked in the past.

“I see myself on TV and say, ’Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck.’ And your face is falling, and your eyes are so puffy,” Field explained.
