Sally Field still mourns her late “Mrs. Doubtfire” co-star, Robin Williams.
Before the SAG Awards on Sunday, Field spoke to People magazine about the first memory that comes to mind when she reminisces about her late friend and filming the movie in 1993.
“What you think about immediately is Robin. There isn’t a moment of it that’s not filled with my love and joy at being in his presence,” she said.
Field continued: “I mean, Robin was Robin. He was everything he seemed to be: a generous, loving, sweet, geniusly talented man.”

“I’ve flown on wires and surfed in the ocean, rode on horses, in wagons, trains and fast cars. I had multiple personalities. I worked in a textile mill, picked cotton. I’ve been Mrs. Doubtfire’s employer, Forrest Gump’s mother, Lincoln’s wife and Spider-Man’s aunt,” Field said.
“I’ve done scenes wearing 50 pounds of period dresses. I’ve been fully clothed, semi clothed and totally naked.”

The “80 For Brady” star continued in her speech, sharing that from the time she was 12 years old, she knew she loved acting. “On stage, I never knew what I would say or do. I would surprise myself. I wasn’t looking for the applause or attention, even though that’s nice sometimes,” she said.

“Anyway, it’s never been about a need to hide myself behind the characters of other people. Acting, to me, has always been about finding those few precious moments when I feel totally, utterly, sometimes dangerously alive.”
