Still, the beloved entertainer isn’t done, she is writing a memoir about her life full of ups and downs. “It’s very difficult because I’ve lived too long, and I’ve done too many things. And so it would have to be, like, an encyclopedia, truthfully,” she acknowledged.

Sally Field has also shared her views on aging in Hollywood. She noted, “My profession is very much about what I look like rather than my capacity to do what it is that I’ve worked my whole life to be able to do.”

The actress added that the real questions shouldn’t be about how she is aging or how her skin is adhering to her bones but about how she is putting one foot in front of the other despite her knees hurting and the wear and tear her body has had to endure.
To Sally, the hardest part about aging is figuring out how to stay healthy against all the things that come at her in her older years.
