Sally Field\u2019s status as one of Hollywood\u2019s best actors was solidified with her stirring performance in Norma Rae (1979).In addition to winning her an Academy Award, her portrayal of a resolute textile worker battling for labor rights astounded viewers.But behind the scenes, there were emotional challenges, self-doubt, and even a few fractured ribs on the way to that performance that will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n

The list is endless: minimum wage, worker safety regulations, healthcare, holidays, the 40-hour workweek, and protections against child labor. Without unions, even for individuals who are not members, none of these essential worker rights would exist.<\/p>\n

Sally Field\u2019s famous depiction of a woman defending her rights and those of her coworkers in Norman Rae serves as a constant reminder of our progress.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In addition to giving Sally the credit she deserved, her performance probably served as an inspiration for other powerful performances by actresses such as Meryl Streep in Silkwood and Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich.<\/p>\n

But as was already noted, her famous role came at a steep cost.<\/p>\n

Sally Field was still attempting to shed her early TV persona as The Flying Nun and Gidget prior to Norma Rae. She felt she needed to show herself because Hollywood didn\u2019t take her seriously. She regarded the role of Norma Rae Webster as an opportunity to reinvent her career, but she knew it wouldn\u2019t be simple.<\/p>\n

One of the main issues was that Sally\u2019s ex-boyfriend, famous actor Burt Reynolds, was envious and unsupportive.<\/p>\n

Field tried to clarify that it was only a part she was playing, but Reynolds made fun of her, saying, \u201cOh, so now you\u2019re an actor\u2026 you\u2019re letting your ambition get the better of you.\u201d Reynolds disapproved of Field playing Norma Rae and famously told her, \u201cNo lady of mine is gonna play a whore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sally remembered sitting next to her mother in a tiny screening room at Fox Studios when she first saw the movie, overcome with terror.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fear that I wasn\u2019t sufficient to hold an audience for two hours was what raced through my mind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

suggested on the final day of production<\/p>\n

Reynolds asked Sally to star in Smoky and the Bandit, which sparked their well-known romance. Their connection was intense and immediate at first, but it quickly became a nightmare for Sally.<\/p>\n

She talks about how the movie star soon started to \u201chousebreak\u201d her, telling her \u201cwhat was allowed and what was not,\u201d and making her into a \u201cshadowy version of herself.\u201d Burt\u2019s disapproval of her performance in Norma Rae was just the most recent example of all the criticism he had for Sally.<\/p>\n

Field accepted the assignment in spite of his protests. Reynolds arrived on set and proposed with a diamond ring on the last day of production. Field remembers that she rejected his proposal because it felt \u201cnot me.\u201d She had little to say after the awkward encounter other than \u201cthank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Field started to feel more self-assured and autonomous once Norma Rae wrapped up; it was almost as though her personal life and the role clashed. Field saw that her personality was beginning to \u201cflare out,\u201d something Reynolds did not like.<\/p>\n

In response, he expressed \u201cshocked disapproval.\u201d<\/p>\n

spent two weeks working in the mill every day.<\/p>\n

Many may remember that the inspiration for Norma Rae came from the true tale of Crystal Lee Sutton, a textile worker from Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, whose struggle for a workers\u2019 union took place at a J.P. Mill of Stevens Textiles.<\/p>\n

Field, who had already been passed up by a number of actresses, tried out for the part while on a quick trip to New York from the Hooper set. (Shirley MacLaine had originally indicated interest in the position, according to her book.)<\/p>\n

Sally Field immersed herself in the life of Southern mill workers in order to be completely prepared for her play. According to IMDb, she and Beau Bridges worked in a factory for a while in order to conduct extensive study. Field became fully absorbed in the setting, taking on the characteristics of the employees, comprehending their hardships, and feeling the mental and physical fatigue they endured.<\/p>\n
