The 2017 Tony Awards were a celebration of Broadway’s best and brightest, and for Tony-nominated actress Sally Field, it was also a celebration of Planned Parenthood.
On Sunday night, Field, who was nominated for Best Leading Actress for her role in “The Glass Menagerie,” tweeted a picture of herself pointing at a gold PP pin on her dress.
“Sick of hearing actors talk re: politics?” she asked in the tweet’s caption. “Too bad, I won’t stay silent while politicians attack our rights. Proud to #StandWithPP.”
Later on Sunday night, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards tweeted that the feeling was mutual:
Field has long been a vocal advocate for the women’s health care organization.
In an April New York Times interview with Misty Copeland, she called the GOP’s plan to defund Planned Parenthood “disgraceful.”
