At 78, legendary actress Sally Field continues to captivate audiences with her enduring charm and candid reflections on her storied career. In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Field shared a humorous anecdote about her least favorite on-screen kiss, revealing it was with her former boyfriend and Smokey and the Bandit co-star, Burt Reynolds.
Field recounted that despite their off-screen romance, their kissing scenes were less than ideal. “It just was not something he really did for you,” she remarked, adding with a laugh, “There was a lot of drooling.” The two met on set in 1977 and dated for five years, a relationship that remains a notable chapter in both their personal lives and Hollywood history.
Beyond this lighthearted memory, Field’s career spans decades of acclaimed performances, from her Oscar-winning roles in Norma Rae and Places in the Heart to her recent work in television and film. Her openness and wit continue to endear her to fans old and new, proving that her star power shines as brightly as ever.
