Besides trying to make decisions about her love life, Field was also at a crossroads as an actor.

Around this time, Field was given a script for “The Flying Nun.”

Since she wasn’t enthusiastic about the character, Field initially refused the bespoke role.

Then she second-guessed her decision.

The two actors had a five-year romance that started in 1977.

But Reynolds nade an appearance on “The Dating Game” in 1967.

Reynolds didn’t get picked to go on the date and instead got jade cufflinks.

When he met Field, however, he was able to take a more active role.

Field claimed Reynolds had imbued their relationship with a significance that never existed.

Reynolds also differed with Field in terms of how he viewed his acting career.

“I was interested in having a good time.”
