Early life

Field was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Turkish father, advertiser Haldun Evecan,[2] and an American mother, film producer Gwen Field.[3] Her father was a Turkish Muslim and her mother is Jewish.[4]

Television career

Field first became known on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, but has subsequently specialised in comedy roles. She was a regular on Blue Collar TV, guest starred in the sitcom Eve and appeared as Jeannie Whatley on NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. On the Fox sitcom Back to You, she played Montana Diaz Herrera (aka Sally Lerner), News 9's weather woman. She also appeared in ten episodes of Season One.

Field joined the cast of a sitcom pilot titled Making It Legal (playing a lawyer named "Elise") but ABC did not pick up the pilot.[6] In June 2008, she was cast in the female lead on ABC's untitled David Kohan/Max Mutchnick comedy pilot, replacing Sarah Lafleur.

Field made her UK TV debut in the final series of Fresh Meat in 2016. In that year, she appeared in the ITV/Netflix series Paranoid. Also in 2016, Field joined ITV's Loose Women as a guest panellist.

In 2018, she joined The X Factor UK judging panel alongside her husband Robbie Williams, show creator Simon Cowell and One Direction's Louis Tomlinson where she replaced Sharon Osbourne.[7]
