Sally Field will publish her memoirs in autumn 2018.

The book will be called In Pieces and is described as “an extraordinary memoir by one of the most celebrated, beloved and enduring actors of our time…whose vivacious, infectious charm has captivated audiences worldwide.”

Field has spent more than five years writing the book, which will be published simultaneously in the UK and US.

The double Oscar winner said: “In Pieces is about the little girl that I was, about the teenager who backed into becoming a celebrity, and about the craft that taught me to stand on my feet, a craft that helped me find my way out of a complicated childhood.”
