Sally Field’s career almost transcends time, so picking the peak decade of it is next to impossible. Still, she did have a pretty good run in the 1970s, topped with a 1979 Academy Award. Field starred in more timeless movies than we can count, such as “Forrest Gump” and “Mrs. Doubtfire.”
She is incredibly talented and has even performed live on Broadway! In 2018, Field published a memoir, titled “In Pieces,” and she is constantly working on new projects.
Corey Feldman's Performance on the "Today Show"
Feldman performed a new single called “Go 4 It” on the "Today Show," performing it with a band made up of women, whom, in the music video, he also lived with, a la Hugh Hefner. The mocking came hard and fast, with many saying the performance, particularly Feldman's dance moves, were too strange to enjoy.
Corey returned to the show later on to discuss the criticism, saying it hurt him deeply. Following the performance, Corey married one of the band members, Courtney Anne Mitchell. We wish them nothing but happiness.
Peter Barton
The short-lived TV show "Shirley" ran for a very limited time, but it still made Peter Barton a star. He was soon cast in much bigger roles on the shows "The Powers of Matthew Star" and "The Young and the Restless."
Barton's popularity extended well into the 80s and won him numerous fans. In a weird turn of events, one of his most devoted fans bequeathed him a substantial fortune when he passed away, making him $1.3 million richer.
Leif Garrett
Garrett started making his way through the spotlight as a child actor. However, he didn't reach his teen idol status until he started making music in the 1970s. After acting in a number of films as a child, Garrett transitioned into music.
He released his first album in 1977, naming it after himself. It featured cover versions to hits from the previous two decades. His great popularity has seen highs and lows, normally as a result of legal troubles surrounding him.
Jack Wild
Jack Wild made his acting debut as Dodger in the musical "Oliver!" in England in 1968 and went into the 70s as a full-fledged star. He was 16 at the time and was already nominated for an Oscar for that role. His stature in the industry at the time sent him to the US for a role in the kids' show "H.R. Pufnstuf" — a role which paid him $1 million!
Success took its toll on Wild, who smoked and drank regularly. At 24 years old, the problem became so severe he could no longer act. After an extensive rehab process, he regained enough strength for short on-screen performances. He passed away in 2006 after battling aggressive cancer.
