Greisman remembers that he was on his best friend’s couch when Field called, telling him she was cast in the 2012 historical drama Lincoln, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis in the leading role. Greisman shared, “…a year and a half later, at dawn, on a rainy morning in L.A., I scrambled out of my room and banged on her door to tell her she had been nominated for a third Oscar. ‘Congratulations,’ I said. She hugged me. ‘I did it, Sammy,’ she whispered. Though my mother has always been my protector, it’s moments like those that have been the greatest gift. To see her as more than “my mom,” chances to see her as her own person, with her own wishes and desires and vulnerabilities.”
He continued, “She has given me the chance to see her as a woman and an artist, always striving to be better, always looking around the next bend, willing to be vulnerable. She’s taught me what it means to have passions, how to dedicate yourself to a craft–to be willing to care, no matter how much you achieve, even if it breaks your heart.”
