In a revealing interview, Sally Field, the acclaimed actress known for her heartfelt performances, spoke about the worst on-screen kiss of her career. Surprisingly, she named her former partner and co-star Burt Reynolds as the person behind that uncomfortable moment.
Though Sally and Burt were a couple off-screen and starred together in Smokey and the Bandit, she said the kissing scenes were far from ideal. She humorously described Burt’s kisses as overly drooly, making it hard to enjoy the moment. This candid confession came as part of a broader conversation about her career and personal life.
Sally’s journey in Hollywood has been remarkable, from her early TV roles to powerful performances in films like Steel Magnolias and Forrest Gump. Born in Pasadena, she overcame personal hardships, including abuse and trauma, which shaped her strength and authenticity. Recently, she has been seen in shows like Dispatches From Elsewhere and Winning Time.
She also shared that she hadn’t spoken to Burt in decades and described him as someone who wasn’t good for her. While Burt fondly recalled their relationship, Sally felt he had idealized it more than she did. Her honesty offers a glimpse into the challenges of mixing personal and professional lives in Hollywood.
