CoverStory By Jay Bobbin Though they hadn't met before this year's Kennedy Center Honors, Linda Ron- stadt became accustomed to being mistaken for a fellow honoree. "I used to sign Sally Field's autograph in the '60s," the music icon re- veals. "People would come up to me and say, 'Could I have your autograph, Miss Field?' I'd say I wasn't her, and they wouldn't believe me, so I just signed her name. There was about a year-and-a-half where we really lined up in terms of our looks." One of the top-selling female recording artists in history, 10-time Grammy winner Ronstadt receives one of the most prestigious of all entertainment awards in a CBS telecast Sunday, Dec. 15. Taped the previ- ous weekend at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Wash- ington, D.C., and hosted by past recipient LL Cool J, the 42nd annual event also salutes two-time Os- car winner Field and the children's series "Sesame Street" (which is mark- ing its 50th anniversary), conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and music's Earth, Wind & Fire. "It's hard to accept and evaluate your own work," the good-humored Ron- stadt reflects. "I just know it took me a lot of years." As for the part of receiving the honor she may appreciate the most, she adds, "I'm so happy I don't have to give a speech! I've developed quite a stammer because of the Parkinson's (dis- ease, which Ronstadt was diagnosed with in 2012)." Since a brief filmed biography of the honoree is part of the presentation, Ronstadt notes she finds any career recap "a little daunting. I don't want peo- ple to think the (the work in the) '70s is all I did. I did my best singing in the '90s, and I really only started learning how to sing in the '80s."
