Field memoir finds publisher

Oscar winner Sally Field is writing a memoir. The actress has an agreement with Grand Central Publishing for In Pieces, scheduled for next fall. The publisher says it will cover her private and professional lives, notably her rise from the teen star of Gidget to her acclaimed performances in Places in the Heart, Norma Rae, Lincoln and other films. Field, 71, said she will write about how acting helped her manage the transition from a “complicated childhood.”
