In Dave Krager's new book 50 Oscar Nights, the actress reflected on her relationship with Burt, sharing that he had been less than supportive when she was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in the 1979 drama Norma Rae. "When the Oscars came around, he really was not a nice guy around me then and was not going to go with me," the Mrs. Doubtfire actress explained. Sally said that she "didn't know what to do" about not having a date to take to the prestigious event.
