In Pieces: by Sally Field | Conversation Starters

While women played significant roles in her life, award-winning actress Sally Field struggled to be respected and acknowledged by the men who were close to her. Field is known for her strong women characters in her movies but unknown to her fans, she was not always the same in real life. Field says she gave in to the demands of the men who put her down. “I eliminated most of me…becoming a familiar, shadowy version of myself…”

In Pieces is written by Field who won three Emmy and two Oscar awards. She is known for her roles in the films Norma Rae and Steel Magnolias. She was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2012 and is a 2015 National Medal of Arts awardee.
