Gaby Hoffmann was 7 years old when she played Karin Kinsella in the hit movie Field of Dreams. The actress spoke about how she got along with the cast members off-screen in a recent interview. She told Business Insider how on the set she experienced  “a lot of paternal energy.”

After the field is built, ghosts of legendary baseball players start visiting it. One of the supernatural guests is “Shoeless Joe” Jackson played by Ray Liotta.
