Sally Fields: I Really, Really, Like Her
I’ve never been a huge Sally Fields fan. Let’s face it she’s not in a whole lot of big movies and she’s not one of those actresses that comes to mind when you think of memorable films. But in “Hello, My Name Is Doris” I think Fields stands out as an actress who can do…
