With two Oscars, three Primetime Emmys, and a career of extraordinary variety and depth to her credit, Sally Field is a veritable American icon. It’s little wonder, then, that she was tapped to receive this year’s SAG Life Achievement Award, joining a prestigious group of past honorees that includes Helen Mirren, Robert De Niro, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and Betty White. (Andrew Garfield, the Peter Parker to Field’s Aunt May in The Amazing Spider-Man, will be on hand at the Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight to present her with the prize.) “Sally is a massive star with a working actor’s ethos—just keep doing the work, being as good as you can,” SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher said in a statement last month. “Every stage of an actor’s life brings different opportunities, and you just need to keep working. Sally does not stop and we hope she never does.”
Here, to celebrate Field’s outstanding achievement across television, film, and stage over 55 years (and counting…80 for Brady is in theaters as we speak!), Vogue is taking a fond look back through the photographic archives. Ahead of the 2023 SAG Awards, revisit 20 charming vintage pictures of the great Sally Field, below.
