Six Degrees of Love: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick


Listen Later

They first crossed paths in 1978 when Kyra Sedgwick was 12 and Kevin Bacon 19, though he doesn’t remember it! The pre-teen complimented the young actor after seeing Kevin perform in an Off-Broadway play.


Ten years later the two were married, and they’ve remained happily so for 36 years. Just ask the goats they occasionally serenade when posting Instagram videos from their Connecticut farm.

In this fun Valentine’s week episode, we share the love story of Hollywood couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, including a few highlights from their individual lives and careers.

How did Kevin convince Kyra, his somewhat reluctant movie costar, to go on a first date with him? When Kyra was hesitant to do “The Closer,” how did Kevin help make it possible for Kyra to accept what would turn out to be her most acclaimed role? What devastating personal crisis did the Bacons experience in 2008? And in which projects have the couple collaborated not only with each other but also occasionally with one or both of their children? We discuss all this and more in this uplifting episode that will leave you feeling “Footloose” and fancy-free!
