Born on November 6, 1946, Sally Field triumphed over discouraging remarks that she wasn’t “pretty enough” for the film industry.
Making her Hollywood debut with TV shows like “Gidget” in 1965 and “The Flying Nun” in 1967, she showcased her talents and defied the criticism.
Drama became Sally’s refuge from a challenging upbringing, marked by her parents’ divorce and her stepfather’s strict discipline.
Post-high school, she ventured into acting with “Gidget,” a stepping stone that eventually led to her iconic portrayal as Sister Bertrille.
Her prowess in cinema became evident as she clinched two Oscars for her roles in “Norma Rae” and “Places in the Heart”.
A versatile performer, she also found success on television, securing Emmy wins for her contributions to shows like “Sybil”, “ER”, and “Brothers & Sisters”.
Sally, a proud mother, has left a lasting legacy for her three boys – Peter, Eli, and Sam, each of whom has made a mark in the entertainment industry.
At 77 years old, Sally Field stands as a living testament to the transformative power of talent and perseverance in achieving remarkable success in Hollywood.
Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production
Three of the biggest producers of electric vehicles are reportedly set to pump the brakes on production, citing a bad economy and higher interest rates thanks to Joe Biden’s bad economic policies. Tesla, General Motors, and Ford all have said they plan to sIow production essentially until the economy shows some signs of settling down.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined General Motors and Ford in voicing concerns that high-interest rates on car purchases would prevent borrowers from securing financing for expensive eIectric vehicles. Musk said, People hesitate to buy a new car if there’s uncertainty in the economy. I don’t want to be going into top speed into uncertainty.
Musk aIso is planning to take a wait-and-see approach to the economy before ramping up the planned Tesla factory in Mexico. Musk’s comments came after poor quarterly results across the board. Not only were Tesla’s sales down, but so were earnings per share and vehicle production.
General Motors, for their part, has plans to delay production of the electric Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks by a year, citing flattening demand for the electrified vehicIes. Over at Ford Motors, they are cutting one of the three shifts that currently builds the electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck. The automaker made this decision following a summer where they took some of the focus off of electric, instead looking toward commercial fleet vehicles and hybrids.
