PORT TOWNSEND — Actress Sally Field will visit Port Townsend on Sunday for a screening of the “Sybil,” a television movie in which she played a woman with multiple personalities.
The event, which will be from noon to 5 p.m. at the Rose Theatre, has been sold out since it was announced in August.
Field will appear along with screenwriter Stewart Stern, who wrote the movie.
The two will speak both before and after a screening of the movie, which is more than three hours long.
It was originally shown over two nights in 1976 and was one of the first successful television miniseries.
Field won an Emmy Award for the role, which helped to establish her as a serious actress.
Up to that point she was best known for her television roles in “Gidget” and “The Flying Nun.”
She subsequently won two Oscars for “Norma Rae” and “Places in the Heart.”
Stern, who wrote “Rebel Without a Cause” starring James Dean, has worked with a variety of Hollywood stars including Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando and Natalie Wood.
He now lives in Seattle and has taught screenwriting at the University of Washington.
The event has been billed as “a rare opportunity to understand and appreciate the collaborative creative process between author and actor.”
