Sally Field Cast to Play Mrs. Lincoln

April 14th 2011 06:05


Sally Field finally gets to work with Steven Spielberg playing Mary Todd Lincoln. She will play the wife of 16th president of the United States opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln. Day-Lewis has already been cast to play the president.

"I'm excited to be working with Sally for the first time," Spielberg said of the two-time Oscar winner. "I've admired her films, and she has always been my first choice to portray all the fragility and complexity that was Mary Todd Lincoln."

The film focuses on the political clashes between Lincoln and the officers of his cabinet. The story is adapted from the book Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Tony Kushner wrote the screenplay.
Filming is expected to begin in the fall for release in the late part of 2012 through Disney's Touchstone label.
