Kyra Sedgwick hails from Upper Manhattan's socialite circles - her cousin is Edie Sedgwick, who inspired "Like A Rolling Stone" and "All Tomorrow's Parties".

From 2005 to 2012, she starred as Georgia-born, CIA-trained Brenda Leigh Johnson, Chief of the LAPD's Major Crimes Division, on TNT's crime drama The Closer. She was Emmy-nominated six times for the role - finally winning in 2010 - and won a Golden Globe in 2007.

She has been married to Footloose star Kevin "Six Degrees" Bacon since 1988. (She also has a Bacon Number of 1, thanks to appearing with him in The Woodsman.) They have two children, Travis and Sosie. On Discovering Your Roots, she and Bacon were discovered to be (distant) cousins.
