Sally Field didn’t have the most upbeat birthday when she turned 78 on Wednesday, November 6.
The same day that it was confirmed Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, the actress was seen removing Kamala Harris campaign signs from her lawn and throwing them away.
For the rare outing, the movie star had her gray locks styled in braided pigtails, and she was dressed comfy in a T-shirt under a button-down shirt, sweatpants and slip-on shoes.
Field was a vocal advocate for the Democrat, 60, revealing in an Instagram post that one of the reasons she supported Harris was because she believes in women’s rights.
“I’ve been so hesitant to do this, to tell my horrific story,” the Oscar winner shared, disclosing that she underwent an illegal abortion in 1964, something she also mentioned in her 2018 memoir.
“It was during a time even worse than now. A time when contraception was not readily available and only if you were married,” she recalled. “But I feel that so many women of my generation went through similar, traumatic events and I feel stronger when I think of them. I believe, like me, they must want to fight for their grandchildren and all the young women of this country.”
