Speaking to Newsweek about the new HBO show 'Winning Time,' Sally Field discussed how she went from Tom Hanks' love interest to his mom in a few short years.
."People always say 'the absolutely ridiculousness of playing Tom's sort of love interest and Tom's mother within, whatever it was, a five year span' but that's not true really.", the first one we did together, I play this slightly older woman, I'm supposed to be ten years older, and he's this up and comer, and I'm this housewife. With the [age] difference, I am ten years older than Tom so it worked out.
and things, being younger, then I was a little bit older, and then very much older. So it's not a fair example."Columbia Pictures / Paramount Pictures While Field points out that her onscreen relationships with Hanks weren't an example of ageist casting, she was firm when discussing the topic within Hollywood across the board.
"But yes, that still is going on. It's ageism, is what it is and it's most particularly towards women."
