She admitted that it was struggle to be taken seriously as an actress in the 1960s and 1970s. Field noted how things that were easy were “overrated,” after receiving her accolade from Andrew Garfield, her “Amazing Spider-Man” costar.
Garfield thanked the iconic actress for living a life that was devoted to love, art, and service as he presented her with the award. Netflix shared the clip of the star’s acceptance speech on its YouTube channel.
