A new video of the actress interacting with fans in New York City is drawing widespread reactions online, years after she spoke candidly about growing older in Hollywood.
There was no red carpet, no glamorous Hollywood backdrop, and no carefully staged photo op — just Sally Field weaving through the busy streets of New York City, trying to keep up her pace while still stopping for the fans who desperately wanted a moment with the beloved actress.

But it was not just the fact that the 79-year-old Oscar winner paused to sign autographs and pose for pictures that sent social media into a frenzy. It was something far more personal: the way she looked.
