\"Sally<\/p>\n

As the years progressed, Field became known for her portrayal of strong maternal figures, in hit movies like Soap Dish and Not Without My Daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman I worked with, a great actress, on The Flying Nun, grabbed me to the back of the sound stage and put a piece of paper in my hand because I was really depressed,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Aging naturally
\nAs she ages, Field has been vocal about approaching getting older with grace, saying in a 2016 interview with Good Housekeeping that she has accepted her status as an \u201cold woman\u201d. During that interview, Field added that she\u2019s chosen to age naturally, especially because growing older is inevitable.<\/p>\n

The talented actress acknowledged the importance of respecting and appreciating how she looks now, rather than using plastic surgery to try too hard to recreate how she looked in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see myself on TV and say, \u2019Oh, I wish that weren\u2019t happening to my neck.\u2019 And your face is falling, and your eyes are so puffy,\u201d Field explained.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Facing internet trolls and health issues
\nThough, by choosing to age naturally, Field has unfortunately left herself open to criticism from nasty internet trolls, who have called her \u201cugly\u201d.<\/p>\n

In fact, these trolls took to X (formerly known as Twitter), insulting her looks and making awful comments about her physical appearance. Sadly, these comments are commonplace for most celebrities, even though they shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n

Lately, Field has brushed off the comments, revealing how she still prefers to age naturally, regardless of what people say about her.<\/p>\n

The actress has also been dealing with her silent illness, osteoporosis \u2013 something she was diagnosed with before turning 60 in 2005, but an issue she rarely speaks about.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Women are sadly more susceptible to this horrible illness due to the hormonal changes they face during menopause, and this can lead to a decrease in bone density. No matter what Field did \u2013 from maintaining a healthy lifestyle to exercising regularly \u2013 there was no way for her to prevent the diagnosis, she told WebMD.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always knew I fit the risk profile. I was thin, small boned, Caucasian, and heading towards age 60. But I was amazed at how quickly a woman could go from being at risk to having full-fledged osteoporosis,\u201d Field said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy bones appeared to be getting steadily thinner without any signs or symptoms I could see or feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given her battle with osteoporosis, it\u2019s sad to see Field being bullied on the internet, especially by people who don\u2019t even know her. Though, her commitment to aging gracefully is an inspiration to those who choose to do the same.<\/p>\n
