MALIBU, Calif. — Margaret Field O’Mahoney, who used the stage name Margaret Field when she appeared in dozens of TV and movie roles from the 1940s to the 1970s, died at her home here Nov. 6, after a six-year struggle with cancer. She may be best remembered at the star of the 1951 sci-fi classic “The Man From Planet X.” She was 89. Her daughter is actress Sally Field, and she died on her daughter’s birthday.
Field gave up acting in her mid-thirties to focus on family and eventually helped raise her seven grandchildren.
MSTies may remember her very last role, as a nurse in the TV movie “The Stranger,” shown in episode 305- STRANDED IN SPACE.

Posted by Sampo, on November 10th, 2011 Well, this sure sounds like fun:
SIFF Cinema and People’s Republic of Komedy present Ed Wood’s “Plan 9 From Outer Space” with commentary by Dana Gould (“The Simpsons”), Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu of Cinematic Titanic and MST3K.
Edward D. Wood Jr’s legendary “so bad it’s good classic” is back on the big screen. Plan 9 From Outer Space is a notorious bit of 1950?s science fiction/horror exploitation that is just begging for the comedy treatment, and SIFF has teamed up with The People’s Republic of Komedy to provide just that—with three hilarious guest commentators. Dana Gould is a comedian, writer onThe Simpsons, and personal friend of the late Maila Nurmi (aka Vampira). Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu are living legends known for their work onCinematic Titanic and Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Together they will guide you through this confounding, enticing, ridiculous and exciting tale of grave robbers…from outer space!
At the Uptown Theater near Seattle Center. $15 | $10 SIFF Members | $14 Seniors (65+) and Youth (20 and under).
