In Pieces I found this to be a very engaging and poignant memoir by one of my favorite actresses. I thought it was beautifully and intelligently expressed and really enjoyed listening to her reading of the audiobook. This was the 2nd night in a row Id be staying up to listen to another book, and Im sure I nodded off in a couple of places being so tired. So I plan to listen to it again to find any parts I may have missed.Ive always been aware that she is brave, but Im really blown awayIn PiecesI read somewhere in GRs that a reader had established a rule for themselves that they would never review memoirs as it was the sharing of a persons memories of their life. That hit me as a true and correct way to operate, so Im going to adopt that mode of response to memoirs. In Pieces is just that. . . by that darling person, Sally Field.Ive loved her since I could recognize her, and I loved the Flying Nun, and Gidget. As years went by, I looked for her, like you look for a favorite
Raw and gritty, this is an insider's look to a dysfunctional Hollywood family. Not what I was expecting, Sally Field draws back a curtain and vividly exposes her hard-scrabble childhood with an abusive step-father and an emotionally absent (perhaps drunk) mother. Through the carnage, she stumbles into her acting career in a haze of drugs and emotional eating, marries her childhood sweetheart and survives by enabling gross bad behavior from everyone she knows except perhaps her brother. (who
Extremely intimate and candid. This autobiography leaves readers shocked and emotionally moved. I have read many autobiographies and appreciate them a great deal when they are not sugar coated or paint a completely pretty picture since most of us are very aware of how messy but beautiful life truly is. My quick and simple overall: extremely incredible. Highly recommend this autobiography when you reach for your next nonfiction read.
Sally Field is a favorite actress of mine, and we now know her persona as happy and bubbly was a façade to cover deep pain. The pain she tapped to portray such characters as Sybil, Norma Rae, and Mary Todd Lincoln. All those pieces, as painful as they were, came together to form Sally Field, the serious, accomplished actress we all know today.I appreciated her sharing her life with her fans, as well as the honesty and openness with which she shared the most painful parts of her past. She
I wait for my mother to haunt me as she promised she would; long to wake in the night with the familiar sight of her sitting at the end of my bed, to talk to her one more time, to feel that all the pieces have been put into place, the puzzle is solved, and I can rest. Margaret Morlan, Sally Fields mother, was discovered by a talent scout sitting in the audience at a Pasadena Playhouse, and she almost instantly had an acting career. She was 23 when her career began, and was modestly successful,
I thought I knew Sally Field. To me, she was the Flying Nun, Sister Bertrille. All those other roles that followed...Norma Rae, Sybil, Mary Todd Lincoln...were departures or outliers from the perky and adorable actress Ive known most of my life. So I believed. If Ms. Fields accomplished nothing else with her story, shes forever convinced people like me that shes never been Sister Bertrille. Shes always been the actress whos a two-time Oscar winner and a three-time Emmy winner. And, we now know
