Now, as she ages, Field has embraced her natural look. In a 2016 interview with Good Housekeeping, she shared that she has chosen to age gracefully, accepting the inevitable changes with dignity. “I see myself on TV and think, ‘Oh, I wish that weren’t happening to my neck,’” she confessed, but emphasized that she’s not interested in trying to recreate her younger self with surgery.
Unfortunately, this choice to age naturally has opened her up to cruel comments from online trolls, who’ve labeled her “ugly.” Despite the harsh remarks, Field remains confident in her decision to age authentically, brushing off the negativity.
Field also battles osteoporosis, a silent illness she was diagnosed with before turning 60. Although she’s worked hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle, she couldn’t prevent the condition, which affects many women during menopause.
Her strength in the face of both personal and public challenges makes her an inspiration. Sally Field’s commitment to aging gracefully reminds us all to embrace who we are, regardless of what others think.
