Actress Sally Field was among the honorees Sunday night (December 8) at the 42nd Kennedy Center Honors, where she was lauded by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Pierce Brosnan. She demurred about her role busting down stereotypes and opening doors for women in TV and film. “I don’t feel that or know that… all I’ve ever done is just put one foot in front of the other,” she said. “Sometimes I’ve have to put it down very hard and lean my body weight into it – whatever body weight I had – but that’s all I’ve ever done. I just wanted things very, very badly. I figured if I’m going down, I’m going down in flames.” Field next appears in AMC limited series Dispatches from Elsewhere alongside Jason Segel. The 42nd Kennedy Center Honors air Sunday, December 15 at 8p on CBS.
