Kyra Sedgwick Teary About Work-Family Divide
Originally posted 08/10/2009 03:05PM
Kyra Sedgwick may feel less overwhelmed by her Los Angeles-based acting work these days, but that doesn't make her any less homesick for husband Kevin Bacon and the rest of her family in New York.
"I remember the first few years it was like I was in an ocean and constantly getting tumbled over. I thought I was going to drown," Sedgwick, 43, tells September's Ladies' Home Journal about her work since 2005 on the TNT drama The Closer, for which she is again nominated for an outstanding actress in a drama series Emmy.
"It's not like that anymore ... but the homesickness – missing the kids, missing those life moments – that gets harder and harder." Welling up, she adds: "I'm just a teary mess about that part of it."

Kyra Sedgwick's Big Loss in Madoff Ponzi Scheme
Originally posted 06/11/2009 07:00AM
Kyra Sedgwick wishes to set the record straight about her family's finances after she and husband Kevin Bacon were caught up in the scandal created by notorious Ponzi scheme-operator Bernard Madoff.
Sedgwick, 43, star of TV's The Closer, says she and Bacon were damaged – but not "destroyed" – after losing money they had invested with Madoff, who pleaded guilty earlier this year to defrauding clients of billions of dollars. He is due to be sentenced June 16.
"We lost hard-earned money that we worked very hard for that we thought [was] in a safe place," says the actress, the Associated Press reports. "It's painful but a lot of people lost a lot more."

Kyra Sedgwick on Chace Crawford: 'He Has Big Shoes to Fill'
Originally posted 06/03/2009 06:30AM
Although Kyra Sedgwick puts in many hours on the set of The Closer, she, husband Kevin Bacon and daughter Sosie Bacon, 17, enjoy quality time together as often as possible. "I get to be home and spend the weekend with my daughter and husband – I need them!" Sedgwick told PEOPLE at a New York City event announcing Tropicana's Trop50 partnership with BlogHer, an online community for women.
But unlike most families, chatting about the movies can get very personal among the three. One recent topic of discussion? The casting of Kevin's signature role of Ren McCormack in the remake of 1984's Footloose. "It's that Chace Crawford guy, right?" says Sedgwick. "We're thrilled! Sosie is a big fan. We met him at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. Kevin and he had a chat. He's very sweet."
Ever loyal to her husband, Sedgwick adds, "He has big shoes to fill!"

Kevin Bacon Victim of Madoff Scheme
Originally posted 12/30/2008 02:50PM
Talk about six degrees being too close for comfort. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are the latest known victims of Bernie Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
"I can confirm that they had investments with Mr. Madoff – no further specifics or comment beyond that," Bacon's rep, Allen Eichorn, told New York Magazine Tuesday.
As for reports that the couple lost everything except for their checking accounts and the land they own, Eichorn said, "Please, let's not speculate or rely on hearsay."
Other Hollywood elite have also been victimized by the fraudulent money manager: Steven Spielberg's Wunderkinder Foundation was hit, and DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg has lost "millions," reports the Wall Street Journal.

Kyra Sedgwick's Success Is 'Bittersweet'
Originally posted 07/14/2008 11:00AM
With her award-winning show starting its fourth season, and her 20th
anniversary to Kevin Bacon around the corner, Kyra Sedgwick has it
all. But the success of The Closer has its downside, too,
she tells Redbook in its July 15 issue.
"The last thing I wanted to do was move to L.A. for six months of the year," she says. "But now I have to live with the wonderful success of it all and the bitter-sweetness of that success – because success means I'm not home."
Still, she's not complaining – especially not about her family.

Hugh Jackman's First Time
Originally posted 05/20/2004 06:00AM
We asked Van Helsing star Hugh Jackman – who is nominated for a Tony for his acclaimed Broadway turn in The Boy from Oz – about his first time ... seeing a musical, that is. "I think it was Cats," he told us. "I loved it. I was 11 when my father took me and I thought it was great – these cats jumping out behind me. It also scared the hell out of me." Yeah, us too. But wait, there's more: "My father also took me to La Cage aux Folles, which kind of surprised me because my father was a religious man," Jackman said. "So we get there and my brother and I are watching and (I) say, 'I think Dad's made a mistake.' "
