Field first met her co-star on a film set in 1977, and the two dated for five years. She later reflected on the impact of that relationship on her personal life, telling Variety that she eventually cut ties with him and did not maintain a relationship during the last three decades of his life. “He was not good for me in any way,” Field said, underlining the challenges she faced both professionally and personally while navigating fame, romantic relationships, and the pressures of Hollywood.
