Sally Field’s worst on-screen kiss in her decades-long career might be a surprise to most
Sally Field’s Worst On-Screen Kiss
Sally Field, a legendary actress with an illustrious Hollywood career, has graced both film and TV with her versatile performances. Known for roles in Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, and The Flying Nun, she’s earned a reputation as one of the most gifted actresses of her generation.
Despite her success, Sally’s personal life has had its challenges, including a difficult childhood and a turbulent relationship with Burt Reynolds, her co-star in Smokey and the Bandit.
In a December 2022 interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Sally revealed that her worst on-screen kiss was with Reynolds. Despite dating him for nearly five years, she admitted the chemistry was lacking during their on-screen moments, even describing him as a “drooler.”
Sally also explained why she distanced herself from Reynolds in the last 30 years of his life, citing their incompatibility. Reynolds, who passed away at 82, had expressed regret over their relationship, but Sally maintained that they were simply not a good fit.
