Sally Field Speaks Out on Julia Roberts' Treatment by 'Steel Magnolias' Director
Sally Field revealed in a new interview that the late director Herb Ross was "very, very, very hard" on Julia Roberts during the filming of "Steel Magnolias," with no apparent reason for his intense criticism. Field and her co-stars, including Dolly Parton, rallied around Roberts amid the alleged mistreatment. The 1989 movie, an adaptation of Robert Harling's play, earned Roberts an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win, while Field was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role.
