Sally Field
Justice Audrey Karlin on The Court

Sally Field is a two-time Academy Award-winner for her performances in "Places in the Heart" and "Norma Rae." She received an Emmy Award for her title role as a young woman with multiple personalities in the four-hour television film "Sybil," with Joanne Woodward. Ms. Field recently appeared on the Emmy award-winning series "E.R.," in which she earned critical acclaim and an Emmy Award nomination for her performance as a woman suffering from bipolar disorder.

Last year she made her feature film directorial debut with "Beautiful" which starred Minnie Driver. Other directorial credits include "The Christmas Tree," an ABC telefilm which starred Julie Harris, and "The Original Wives Club" episode of the epic miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon," for HBO.

Her film credits include "An Eye for An Eye," directed by John Schlesinger, the hugely successful "Forrest Gump" and "Mrs. Doubtfire." Other feature films include "Soapdish," "Not Without My Daughter," "Steel Magnolias," "Punchline," "Murphy's Romance" (the latter two produced by Field's production company, Fogwood Films), "Absence of Malice," "The End," "Hooper," "Heroes" and "Smokey and the Bandit" Parts I and II. Her first major film was "Stay Hungry," starring Jeff Bridges and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Her recent television credits include the role of "Aunt Betsey" in the TNT adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic, "David Copperfield," and Showtime's "A Cooler Climate" which earned her an Emmy nomination for her role as a wealthy wife turned impoverished divorcee who finds work as a maid.

Prior to that, her appearance in "A Woman of Independent Means," a six-hour miniseries, marked her return to television -- not only as an actor, but also as co-producer -- after a twenty year absence. Her performance earned her Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

Born in Pasadena, California, and raised in a show business family, Field was enrolled in acting classes at Columbia Pictures when she was selected from among 150 finalists to star in the television series "Gidget." She went on to star in the series "The Flying Nun" and "The Girl with Something Extra."
