Sally Field speaks out after facing criticism about her looks.

The role earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress. During her acceptance speech, she famously declared, “You like me, right now, you like me!” — a moment that has since become one of the most quoted lines in Oscar history.

Field later won a second Academy Award for her role in Places in the Heart, further cementing her status as one of Hollywood’s most accomplished actresses.

As her career progressed, Field became known for portraying complex, strong maternal figures. In Steel Magnolias, she played M’Lynn Eatenton, delivering one of the film’s most emotionally intense performances.
