She loved doing Gidget because in her words, "Gidget was her idle!" The role she absolutely hated was the "flying Nun" as she stated in a recent interview. In fact, she hated the flying nun role so much they were forced to wind down the series at the height of its popularity. Sally was ready to move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028325749897945808.post-23933197310045435752010-10-18T18:06:15.038-04:002010-10-18T18:06:15.038-04:00Fun post!

Sally Fields looks so divine in that yellow bikini. I love her board in this shot too. Great to be back and enjoying catching up.

Wasn't Frankie Avalon in that one? I loved the series with Sally Fields too but, I read her autobiography and she said she absolutely hated doing that series. Kinda ruined it for me. My youngest sister is the spitting image of Sally. She gets mistaken for her all the time. She got to meet her once at a benefit and they had their picture taken together. Sure enough, they could be twins. Thanks for the Gidget update; great memories."Cottage By The Sea"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04016670928484219905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028325749897945808.post-21652123036985028072010-10-11T17:56:46.693-04:002010-10-11T17:56:46.693-04:00What a "GREAT" post!

I designed a beach house when I was 14, and for the last 35 years of my life have lived in my "beach house" along the shores of Lake Michigan, my "inland ocean". This is where I plan to live all the days of my life.

I am more familiar with Sally Field as Gidget but I did watch the Sandra Dee one this past summer and enjoyed it just as much.
