Oscar®-winning actress Sally Field almost didn't land the role of Mary Todd Lincoln, a historical figure she says she always wanted to play. Watch as Sally tells Oprah about the long casting process for Lincoln, the rejection and the magical moment she shared with Daniel Day-Lewis, the film's leading man.

    I think Anne Hathaway's 15 minutes on screen was so overrated Sally Field was robbed of an Academy Award
