The Life of Beloved Actress Sally Fields

At the 1985 Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, while accepting her second Oscar for Places in the Heart, she delivered a speech that included the line, “You like me, right now, you like me.”

The moment quickly became part of pop culture. The quote was frequently repeated, often misquoted, and sometimes mocked in the years that followed. The speech remained closely associated with her public image throughout the remainder of the decade.
