I saw her (when I was a kid) in twelfth night. She was incredible. Paul Rudd and Helen hunt were in the same production and there was water on the stage throughout the play. I kinda wish I could see it again to confirm all of my weird memories of it. lol
I feel she definitely should have changed her last name to Bacon. I like her a lot, but I can never remember her name even decades later. It is just too weird of a name for easy memorizing imo.
A special or unique name will not help others remember your special and unique child's name imo fwiw.
Kyra Sedgwick rolls right off the tongue and I never have a problem remembering her name. Her name like … isn’t unique enough to be an issue, like at all. I dated a girl named Kyra in high school in the 90s and the name has gotten more popular each decade, I feel. Sedgwick is a surname from Middle English. I don’t know why you’re making it like her parents named her Toblerone Rubledoom or something.
I'm fairly sure she's descended from one of the US founding fathers and she's the cousin of Edie Sedgwick IIRC. Edie was the socialite who was in Warhol's circle in the late 60s.
Happy to be corrected because I can't get bothered to look it up to confirm.
It's just an observation and opinion on what I've noticed in others at work over the decades too. I don't recall "street names" well either and they are usually simple too. I have never known a Kyra or heard the name before her. The surname isn't really rare, but I don't find it memorable either. 🤷♂️
I remember election of 2000 I’m in 10th grade me and the other nerds in Honors History freaking out “HIS BROTHER IS GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA WHY ARE WE OKAY WITH THIS”
They are coRrEcT as if gender actually really mattered here or could make this more humorous somehow. They are both "gender neutral" names because of how commonly used for both genders they are.
Why names became a thing about gender? I don‘t know why, but it‘s pretty much been a thing for a couple of thousand years. Like, ask your grandfather Rosemary, maybe he knows.
Always thought their daughter Sosie looked a lot more like her father, but seeing this younger photograph Kyra, she actually is more identical to her mother.
Wuntch (played by Kyra): Hello Raymond. Surprised to see me?
Captain Raymond Holt: I didn’t say “Bloody Mary” three times, so, yes.
I didnt expect to see you this high up without a broom underneath you
i was wondering why i smell garbage truck...
it was you!
Don't sweet talk me, Holt.
Good to see you.
But if you're here, who's guarding Hades?
the picture of her!
Wuntch-time is over! Ha, had it both ways… No regrets.
Ah, Wuntch. You've aged.
I didn’t see you there. I thought you were an old leather chair.
Kyra Sedgwick and her husband Kevin.
Dead ass like she isn’t a whole ass well known actress.
Seven Degrees of Sedgwick.
I didnt recognize her until I saw the B99 qoute at the top of the thread.

And a Sedgwick. They're an old (from the 1630s) prominent family, and she's first cousins with Edie, as far as pop culture relations go.
I wouldn't put it so eloquently, but I agree.

You’re right, she is the cousin of Edie and she’s a descendent of William Ellery, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Toblerone I would likely remember, lol.
To be fair I would absolutely remember Toblerone too, just like I never forget to get giant ones from the duty free shops.
This is what it was like when I met them if I’m being honest and real. She is like The Sun and he is just There. It’s kind of cool!
Wait, if she’s there then who’s guarding Hades?
Back in the 90’s nobody would’ve considered the 90’s so innocent.
Honestly I miss that feeling terribly, as an Xennial.

it seems quaint now
Wuntch time is over! Boom, did it! Had it both ways, no regrets.
Travis bacon plays in punk bands and such. They played in my garage once.
So you're only two degrees from Kyra Sedgewick?
Yeah I guess so. Never thought of it like that!
WUNCH TIME IS OVER!
BOOM! Did it. Had it both ways, no regrets.
If Kevin Bacon doesn’t call his kids bacon bits, that feels like a missed opportunity on a cosmic level.
I remember when Bernie Madoff stole most of his and his wife's money.
Care to sit down and rest your cloven hooves?
Wait, if she’s there then who’s guarding Hades?
Nice Family
Saw a video of them dancing in their kitchen that showed randomly on insta and I thought they were super cute together.
There needs to be a Kevin Bacon bio pic starring Jim Carrey as Kevin Bacon.
That would be hilarious since Jim is only 4 years younger than Kevin.
I'm the cuter bacon.

That’s freaking adorable 🩷🩷🩷 best thing I’ve seen all day
Those shirts. Must have been nice to live in such a naively optimistic era filled with hope for the future.
You can still have hope for the future.
If I could then I could also be religious, but I can't make myself believe what I don't believe
Just put your phone away. It’s all we needed. The algorithm is killing your soul.
This is my son Canadian.
Lovely family photo
Son’s name: Syde O. Bacon
Daughter’s name: Chris P. Bacon
Would have been a funny joke if you had allocated each gender the right name.
Syde is Sydney or "Sid".
Chris/Cris is Christine or Christina etc.

Why did this become a thing about gender lol people are so obsessed I swear

Ma'am you need to stop
Kyra is one of the most beautiful women in entertainment.
And talented as hell. And I want her to be my mom.
I had that same baby outfit. My parents did a department store photoshoot with me in it and the photos are still displayed family wide.
Awesome pic. Love them both. My wife and I love thier instagram.
"His wife Kyra," really, that's how you're framing her?
That Capitol backdrop really anchors the era 🇺🇸
Actor Kyra Sedgwick and her husband Kevin, photographed with their son
Thought it was Geoff Rowley.
Kind of looks like Jim Carrey there with the long hair
I hope they called him bacon bit
He's got, his own sense of style
He's got a seldom seen smile
He's got, a mystery mind
But he'll let you, see it sometimes
He can rain he can rain
On the sunniest day
And he fights and he fights
Just to do it his way
He can't hit a ball
But he still wants it all
He's a lot like his dad in that way
Thats Valentine
Kevin Bacon with a Korean toilet ghost and their child.
Kyra’s VIP sticker makes it clear this was April 22, 1990. The first international Earth Day!
Is their son Travis Bacon? I might have gone to college with him. Chill guy liked metal music
And I thought it was Jim Carrey. SMH
According to Finding Your Roots, they are cousins
"DONT PUSH ME BERT DON'T PUSH ME!!!"
"them graboids dont get his ass i will"
Always thought their daughter Sosie looked a lot more like her father, but seeing this younger photograph Kyra, she actually is more identical to her mother.
What building is that?
I zoomed the noses and I am not ashamed.
Anyone know what they are advocating for in the photo?
He wasn’t filming, jfk?
They are distant cousins. They were on an episode of 'finding your roots'
Oh. I get it now.
Star-Lord would love this
Kyra, Yoshikage Kyra?
More AI dog shit. His wife Kyra is equally famous actor Kyra Sedgwick. Didn't think to mention that for fuck's sake?
They wanted people to make angry comments, instead of just scrolling by.
Luckily, no one took the bait.
If it makes you feel better, most of the top comments reference Kyra and her B99 character, so we’re really giving her more props.
