While perhaps best known for her roles in Sybil 1976 and Smokey and the Bandit 1977 , Sally Field got her start in comedic television roles such as Gidget 1965-66 and The Flying Nun 1967-70.
She then caught the eye of Hollywood producer Dino De Laurentiis, who cast her as the damsel in distress for his 1976 remake of King Kong.
While known for his talent as an actor and comedian, Steve Martin was also a serious heartthrob back in the day.
