"I was in the camper outside of the courtroom where we were shooting the divorce scene. My father had a stroke a couple of years before, and was in a nursing facility. I got a phone call from the doctor saying my father had passed -- a massive stroke," Field explained."He asked if I wanted them to put him on the resuscitator. I said,"No, he did not want that. Just let him go. And please lean down and say, 'Sally says goodbye.
Field said she overcome with grief in that moment, but forced herself not to cry -- instead she"came on the set trying with all my might to act.""I wasn't crying Robin came over, pulled me out of the set, and asked, 'Are you OK?'" she shared. When she eventually told Williams about her father dying, she said Williams responded,"Oh my God, we need to get you out here right now.
According to Field, Williams"made it happen." He talked with director Chris Columbus and they figured out how to shoot the scenes they needed without Field needing to be on set for the day. Field said that meant"I could go back to my house, call my brother and make arrangements."Sally Field and Robin Williams attend the Campaign for a New GI Bill hosted by the Student Veterans of America at the Beverly Hilton hotel on June 22, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.
