Sally Field Fast Facts:

High-school classmates included financier Michael Milken and Hollywood super-agent Michael Ovitz, who represented her for a time.
In 1964 straight out of high school, she enrolled in an acting workshop. During her first week, a Screen Gems casting director spotted her and she was quickly signed to star in Gidget.
Earned $500 an episode for Gidget.
Became pregnant during the last season of The Flying Nun, but hid her growing belly beneath the habit and behind books.
Reportedly took her role in 1977's Smokey and the Bandit in order to broaden her appeal and ended up falling in love with its director/star, Burt Reynolds.
Made one of the more memorable — and often misquoted — Oscar speeches when accepting her second Best Actress award for her work in 1984's Places in the Heart: "I haven't had an orthodox career and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me!"
