Sally Field (79), twice an Oscar-winning actress, says she ‘couldn't get in a room to audition’ after TV’s “The Flying Nun” (1967-1970).

Jack Nicholson (89) stepped in and helped Field escape comedic typecasting after #TheFlyingNun as she launched a successful dramatic acting career that led to two Oscar wins (1980, 1985).
