Field was born in Boston, Massachusetts and began her acting career on the London stage in She Loves Me. She returned to the United States and appeared in several stage successes, before making her film debut in 1939.

Her role as Mae in Of Mice and Men (1939) established her as a dramatic actress, and she played supporting roles in films such as Kings Row (1942).
