Field has been outspoken about aging naturally. In a 2016 interview with Good Housekeeping, she said she has accepted being an “old woman” and refuses to chase youth through cosmetic procedures. She has openly acknowledged insecurities but believes respecting who she is now matters more than recreating the past.

That choice has made her a target for online trolls, some of whom have cruelly criticized her looks. Field has largely brushed off the insults, standing firm in her decision. She has also quietly battled osteoporosis, diagnosed before age 60, a condition she has spoken about to raise awareness. Despite everything, Sally Field’s commitment to authenticity continues to inspire many.
