Sally Field, 76, Called ‘Ugly’ after Deciding to Age Naturally – She Found Joy in Being a Grandma of 5 Living in Ocean-View House.
Sally Field, 76, has been in the public eye for nearly six decades, known for her roles in TV shows like Gidget and The Flying Nun, and her film career, which earned her two Academy Awards. Despite her success, Field has faced harsh criticism about her aging appearance, with some calling her “ugly” for choosing to age naturally. She has openly spoken against ageism in Hollywood, refusing to undergo cosmetic surgery, even though she struggles with her own physical changes due to osteoporosis, a condition she has lived with since her 50s.
Though the media’s negativity was difficult, Field found support and strength in her family. Now, living in a $2.3 million ocean-view home in Pacific Palisades, she cherishes her role as a grandmother to five grandchildren. Field has embraced aging, acknowledging her imperfections but also celebrating the wisdom and resilience that come with age. In interviews, she has expressed pride in her life and career, and despite the challenges, continues to thrive with confidence, surrounded by loved ones.
