Sally Field played Peter’s Aunt May in the two Garfield flicks. Calling Garfield “just perfect,” the acting icon told me at the South by Southwest premiere of her indie drama Hello, My Name Is Doris, that he is the “most perfect fellow to work with, so I will miss him, but I’ll find him.”
“Aunt May spinoff? And make her the lead? What would you do with her?” Field said in an interview with The Huffington Post at the South by Southwest Film Festival.
“She has no special powers whatsoever. She was a housewife waiting for the kids to come home,” Field said while laughing about the idea. “I think they did that: It was called ‘The Donna Reed Show.’”
