11 Stars of the 1960s Who Are Still Going Strong

Sally Field

Sally Field broke out in the 1965 with her starring role on Gidget (above), which she followed up with The Flying Nun, making her one of the biggest — and youngest — TV stars of the 1960s.

Since then, she’s won two Best Actress Oscars — for 1979’s Norma Rae and 1984’s Places in the Heart — and demonstrates empathy and vast range in films from Sybil to Smokey and the Bandit to Mrs. Doubtfire to Forrest Gump to Lincoln. And of course her “You like me, right now, you like me” Oscars speech for Places in the Heart is the gold standard of award speeches.

Last year she stood out in 80 for Brady, proving she’s still got comic chops — though the film note that she’s still several years off from 80.
