Field’s dedication to diversity in her craft is demonstrated in the vastly different roles she’s played since she first started acting. Her career took off in 1965’s Gidget, where she plays a boy-crazed teenager, then playing a Flying Nun (1967 to 1970), to a runaway bride turned booze bandit on Smokey and the Bandit (1977 and 1980).

ShutterstockPerhaps her most memorable performances are roles that allowed her to express her maternal instincts. On the screen, Field played a fierce mom caring for her dying daughter, Julia Roberts, in Steel Magnolias(1989), a struggling mom in her award-winning performance in Places in the Heart (1984), a supportive mom on Forrest Gump, a mom learning her way on Mrs. Doubtfire, a mother scorned in Not without my Daughter (1991), and her Emmy-award winning performance as the bipolar mom on the TV show ER (2000 to 2001).But closely mirroring the real-life relationship she has with her son, it’s her performance as the loving mom to a gay son on Brothers and Sisters that really stands out.

Greisman, a self-proclaimed “momma’s boy” admits that he’s “perhaps too obsessed with her.” He continues, “Maybe it’s because I’m the youngest, by sixteen years. Maybe it’s because I was a shy little kid and my mom was a safe space; a hip I was attached to. Maybe it’s because gay men feel a certain undeniable affection for award-winning actresses. Who knows! Whatever it is, we have always been incredibly close.”
