At that time, the masses knew Reynolds as a hot sex icon in Hollywood. In hopes of changing people’s opinion of her, Field agreed to play Burt Reynolds’ love interest in Smokey and the Bandit. Despite this impressive feat, people usually described Sally as the “ugly lead actress from Sybil.” Her jaw-dropping performance ensured her win as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Special Program for the Drama or Comedy category in the 29th Primetime Emmy Awards.ĭuring that award season, Field surpassed the actresses who played Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, and Mary Todd Lincoln.
