In Sally Field's memoir, "In Pieces", she claimed that she woke up, drugged, with songwriter Jimmy Webb "grinding away" on top of her. In response to the passage in Fields' book, Webb told "The New York Times", "Sally and I were young, successful stars in Hollywood. We dated and did what 22-year-olds did in the late sixties: We hung out, we smoked pot, we had sex. I have great memories of our times together and great respect for Sally, so much respect that I didn’t write about her in my book because I didn’t want to tarnish her Gidget image with our stories of drugs and sex."
