The beloved 80s star acted with Julia Roberts, dated Burt Reynolds and won an Oscar. And there’s a connection to Tom Brady. Who is she?

She is a popular movie star who was at the peak of her career in the 1980s and 1990s and continues to work today as her popularity never seems to have waned.

She was also a brave cover girl in the 1980s.

Field appeared on the cover of the March 1986 issue of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine, where she was interviewed.

She did not appear in the magazine, but wore the classic jersey and bunny ears outfit on the cover.

The sighting came after Sally said Roberts was subjected to “horrific” bullying on the set of Steel Magnolias.

The actress was part of the star cast of the 1989 drama film alongside Shirley MacLaine and Dolly Parton.

Apparently, the then newcomer Julia – who was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the tragic Shelby – was constantly “teased” by director Herbert Ross.

Sally and her colleagues had to “come to her aid” and “stand behind her” during production, she said.

After the release of “Steel Magnolias,” Julia became a superstar with her film “Pretty Woman.”

She told Vulture:[Herb] pretty much gave me the freedom to do whatever I wanted. I mean, Herb was very, very, very strict with Julia.

“If you ever talk to Julia, she’ll tell you.

“We all rallied around Julia because she was the baby. She was the new girl, so to speak. And she was wonderful, and he just picked on her. It was awful.”

Field added: “Because he could be a real son of a bitch, that’s why. Some people just need someone to bully.”

“But we all came to her aid, and I remember Dolly turning on him once – always with humor, but usually with the most vulgar humor you’ve ever heard, so that it was like literally having no foot on the ground.”

The Oscar winner was then asked whether she had been subjected to similar behavior by Ross.

She insisted that this would never have happened because, despite her small stature, she was a “warrior.”

Field said, “No. Because he didn’t dare. I mean, I have nothing against notes, but I will argue if it doesn’t make sense to me.”

“But if you want to be mean to me, then find yourself a warrior. I may be small, but you don’t want that.”

Director Ross died of heart failure in New York City in 2001 at the age of 74.
