Sally Field & Michael Showalter: Hello, My Name Is Doris

Hosted by
It's been two decades since Sally Field headlined a film, but now she stars as the title role in Michael Showalter's new indie dramedy, Hello, My Name Is Doris. Field and Showalter share why they were drawn to the project, and how they filmed it in under a month.

After more than 50 years in film and television, Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Sally Field has seen a lot of change in the industry, but not when it comes to treatment of women and people of color. She tells us about the struggle to break out of TV and into film, and why she's not terribly optimistic the Hollywood women problem will improve in her lifetime. She and director Michael Showalter also talk about the new film, Hello, My Name Is Doris, which is about a women of age, coming of age.
