GIDGET: THE COMPLETE SERIES
THE FLYING NUN:
THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Two-Time Academy Award®-Winner Sally Field
in the Two TV Series That Launched Her Career ~ on DVD March 21
Culver City, CA (January 9, 2006) – You’ll like her … you’ll really, REALLY like her in the two delightful TV series that launched Sally Field’s stellar career -- Gidget: The Complete Series and The Flying Nun: The Complete First Season -- when they debut on DVD March 21 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Both series are available in four-disc sets featuring exclusive new interviews with the two-time Academy Award®-winner. Each set is priced at $39.95 SLP.
Gidget: The Complete Series
Surf’s up … and Gidget: The Complete Series has all the sand, surf, fun and boys needed for a charming series. Based on the Frederick Kohner novel and a 1959 film starring Sandra Dee, Gidget (slang for girl-midget) debuted on September 15, 1965, for a 32-episode run. Sally Field plays the perky 15-year-old Southern California girl who loves to surf and longs for romance. Along with her best friend Larue (Lynette Winter), Gidget’s youthful enthusiasm often triumphs over the conventional wisdom of the adults in her life, making the series a fun-filled frolic on California’s beaches. Gidget’s widower dad (Don Porter) always does his best while facing the challenges of raising a fun-loving teenager. Guest stars include Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Barbara Hershey (Beaches), Paul Lynde (TV’s “Bewitched”), Bonnie Franklin (TV’s “One Day at a Time”), Harvey Korman (TV’s “The Carol Burnett Show”), Martin Milner (TV’s “Adam-12”) and Judy Carne (TV’s “Laugh In”).

The Flying Nun: The Complete First Season
Anything can happen when The Flying Nun: The Complete First Season takes flight. After its debut on September 7, 1967, the show took its place alongside “Bewitched” and “I Dream of Jeannie” as one of the most fondly remembered series of the 1960s. Sally Field plays bubbly novice nun Sister Bertrille, who arrives at Convent San Tanco in Puerto Rico, where the constant swirling winds give her the power to fly. That sight is greeted with alarm by the strict Mother Superior (Madeleine Sherwood) and with curiosity and amusement by her fellow nuns -- Sister Jacqueline (Marge Redmond), Sister Bertrille's mentor, and Sister Sixto (Shelly Morrison from TV’s “Will & Grace”), a nun who continually fights a losing battle with the English language. While at the convent, Sister Bertrille also makes an unlikely friend in Carlos Ramirez (Alejandro Ray), a wealthy playboy bachelor who was raised by the nuns as a young orphan. Guest stars in the first season include Dabney Coleman (WarGames), John Astin (TV’s “The Addams Family”), Jamie Farr (TV’s “M*A*S*H”), Elinor Donahue (TV’s “Father Knows Best”) and celebrity impressionist Rich Little.

Sally Field
After getting her start in episodic TV, Sally Field gained critical attention for her tour-de-force performance as a woman with multiple personalities in the TV miniseries “Sybil” (1976), which garnered her an Outstanding Lead Actress Emmy® Award. She soon made the difficult transition to feature films, first co-starring opposite Burt Reynolds in the hugely popular Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and its hit sequel (1980), as well as Hooper and The End (both 1978), before winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of union organizer Norma Rae (1979). She won her second Academy Award for her stirring performance as a depression-era widow trying to keep her family together in Places in the Heart (1984). Other notable films include Steel Magnolias (1989), Soapdish (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Forrest Gump (1994) and Legally Blonde: Red, White and Blonde (2001). In 2001, she also won an Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actress for her recurring role on TV’s long-running hit “ER.” Field will be back on the big screen this year in the feature film Two Weeks.
