Sally Field
Even though Burt Reynolds received plenty of praise for Smokey and the Bandit, do not forget that Sally Field also contributed to its success. Did you know that the two of them were romantically linked at one point? Anyway, the actress starred in more great movies over the years. Among other things, she was in Mrs. Doubtfire, Forrest Gump, and Steel Magnolias. You might also recognize her as Aunt May in The Amazing Spider-Man. She received a Best Actress nomination for her performance in Lincoln as well.
Kim Novak
Kim Novak started her career when Columbia Pictures recruited her to replace Rita Hayworth, who was one of the most popular actresses in the ‘40s. On top of that, she was brought in to compete with Marilyn Monroe of the 20th Century Fox. She became a household name after starring in an Alfred Hitchcock film called Vertigo. From the mid-‘60s onward, she has only worked in the industry sporadically. During the early ‘90s, she decided to retire. In 2010, the actress announced that she was struggling with breast cancer. We are glad that she was able to recover!
