TV Guide - My 28 - June 3, 1966

Sally Margaret Field (born November 6, 1946) Television. stage and film actress. She has performed in movies, Broadway theater, and television, and made records of popular music. Known for her extensive work on screen and stage, she has received many accolades throughout her career spanning six decades, including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Primetime Emmy Awards, in addition to nominations for a Tony Award and two British Academy Film Awards. She was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014, the National Medal of Arts in 2014, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2019, and the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2023.

Field got her start on television as the boy-crazy surfer girl in the sitcom Gidget (ABC, 1965–1966). The show was not an initial success and was cancelled after a single season; however, summer reruns garnered respectable ratings, making the show a belated success. Wanting to find a new starring vehicle for Field, ABC next produced The Flying Nun with Field cast as Sister Bertrille for three seasons, from 1967 to 1970. In an interview included on the Season One DVD release, Field said that she thoroughly enjoyed Gidget but hated The Flying Nun because she was not treated with respect by the show's directors. During her time on The Flying Nun, Field had a brief singing career, recording an album (Star of The Flying Nun, 1967) and a number of singles. (Wikipedia)
