Two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field has become a successful actress in movies and television. But success did not come easily for her. Her road to film stardom was filled with disappointment and doubt. Although she starred as two of television's most memorable characters—Gidget and the Flying Nun—Sally longed to be a dramatic movie actress. Would she ever get the chance to prove herself as an actress? This new book tells how Sally's determination helped her overcome obstacles to become an Oscar-winning actress.
