Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor Sally Field will be in Denver this month to talk about and sign copies of her new memoir “In Pieces” at an event hosted by Tattered Cover Book Store.
Field’s memoir, which was released in September, explores her childhood and how acting helped her find a voice. The called it a “somber, intimate and at times wrenching self-portrait.”
The actor has won three Emmys for her respective roles in “ER,” “Brothers & Sisters” and “The Big Event.” She’s nabbed two Oscar awards for her performances in “Norma Rae Webster” and “Places in the Heart.” Her acceptance speech for the latter was the origin of Field’s oft incorrectly repeated quote, “You like me! You really like me!” (The correct quote was, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me!”)
The book presentation will be held Saturday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. at the Trinity Methodist Church, 1820 Broadway. It will be moderated by Denver Post reporter John Wenzel.
Check-in begins at 5 p.m. Tickets cost $29 and include a copy of the book and a spot in the signing line. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Event tickets are only available of .
