The Adorable Sally Field

History Daily

Sally Field is better known these days for her roles in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Where the Heart Is. But the movie that landed her in her place in Hollywood was Gidget, which was filmed in 1965. She was only 18-years old at the time that she took on the role, yet she became a cast favorite for her candor and spunk. As Field explained it, “After the first night of my workshop, a casting guy asked me if I had an agent. I didn’t, but I still went in for an interview. The waiting room was filled with girls who looked like movie stars. They all had professional head shots; the only pictures I had were wallet photos of me with my friends. At my screen test, I walked in and said, ‘Which one is the camera?’ The crew members were like, ‘Oh, boy.’ But the casting director said, ‘You’re it.’ God was looking out for me. He thought he’d throw me in the ocean and see if I could swim.”
