Sally Field has responded calmly to online critics who mocked her appearance and called her “ugly.” At 78, the Oscar-winning actress says she has chosen to age naturally, despite pressure in Hollywood to look forever young.
Field, known for roles in Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Steel Magnolias, has long spoken about accepting the aging process. She has openly said she prefers not to rely on plastic surgery to recreate her younger appearance. While she admits it can be difficult to see changes in her face and neck, she believes growing older should be embraced, not hidden.
In recent years, social media users have criticized her looks. Field has largely ignored the comments, saying she remains comfortable with her decision to age with grace.
She has also faced health challenges. Field was diagnosed with osteoporosis before turning 60. The condition weakens bones and is more common in women, especially after menopause. She has said the diagnosis came despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Rather than focus on criticism, Field continues to speak openly about aging and health. For many, her message is simple: aging is natural, and self-acceptance matters more than public opinion.
