Sally Field’s son, Sam Greisman: American actress Sally Field’s youngest son, Sam Greisman, is a writer from New York. He is one of Sally’s youngest children. He wrote an essay for the people about what he learned from his mother.
“I have always been my mother’s boy — painfully, sometimes shamefully. Maybe too obsessed with her. Maybe because I’m the youngest, at sixteen. Maybe because I was a little shy kid and my mom was a safe place; the hip to which I was bound.”
“Maybe it’s because gay men feel a certain undeniable affection for award-winning actresses. Who knows! No matter what, we’ve always been incredibly close.”
“I remember a nightmare I had when I was about seven years old. I ran into my mother’s room crying because I dreamed that she was not there to pick me up after school; I looked everywhere for her and couldn’t find her. Awake and panicking, I sat on her bed as she said, “Sammy, I’ll always be there to pick you up, even when I’m not here.”
“For the next few years, I had to keep calling out ‘goodnight’ from my bedroom at various intervals as I drifted off to sleep, fearing that it would somehow disappear when the lights went out. I had to know it was still there.”
“I grew up so connected to my mom that I can trace my life through her career. While she shot Mrs. Doubtfire, I made model airplanes and hung them around our rented house in San Francisco. Back in Forrest Gump time, I could buy something at a toy store in Beaufort, SC if I slept through the night without a pacifier. I fell in love with New York when she was on Broadway in The Goat. The first week of filming Brothers and Sisters was rescheduled so she could move me into my dorm at NYU. (Later, an honest, heartfelt conversation about my queerness was used verbatim for a scene between her and Matthew Rhys. I’m still waiting for the retroactive writing of that, if I’m being completely honest.)”
“I was in my last semester of college when I told her she was right, she had to get Steven Spielberg to at least give her a test for Lincoln. I was on my best friend’s couch when she called to tell me she got the part. And, a year and a half later, at dawn on a rainy morning in LA, I ran out of my room and slammed on her door to tell her she was nominated for her third Oscar.”
“Congratulations,” I said. She hugged me. “I did it, Sammy,” she whispered. Although my mother has always been my protector, it was moments like these that were my greatest gift. To see her as more than “my mom,” a chance to see her as her own person, with her own wants and desires and vulnerabilities.”
“She gave me the opportunity to see her as a woman and an artist, always striving to be better, always looking around the next corner, ready to be vulnerable. She taught me what it means to have passion, how to commit to a craft — to be willing to care, no matter how much you achieve, even if it breaks your heart.”
“My mom gave me permission to be messy, to fight, to argue with her, to be mad at her when I have no one else to yell at, she gave me permission to pick out all her dresses for awards shows, because… well, no explanation needed .”
“She taught me that life, like art, is about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off, as she did countless times. And luckily for me, I know she’ll be there to pick me up when I fall. Even when she’s not there.”
