Sosie Bacon

Early life

Sosie Bacon was born in 1992 to actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who tried to provide her with as ordinary an upbringing as was possible in the circumstances and did not want to push her into acting. Bacon studied at Brown University and has studied at musical theatre company CAP21.

Career

In 2005, she starred in Loverboy. While directing Loverboy, Kevin Bacon decided to cast Sosie in the film. Asked about the choice, he said that he made the decision as a director, not as a father, because he believed his daughter was perfect for the role, and "Sosie was cool. She kind of got it out of her system. She said 'Oh, that was fun—now I'm going back to school'." Sosie portrayed the main character Emily in a flashback, while the adult Emily was portrayed by Sosie's mother Kyra Sedgwick. As Emily, Sosie sang an a cappella version of the David Bowie song "Life on Mars?", that was described in a review from The New York Times as "grotesquely funny". Her brother, Travis Bacon, was cast in a smaller role in the film. Kevin praised Sosie's work on Loverboy, but said that he would not be encouraging her to pursue acting further.

In 2009, she starred in The Closer.

On November 21, 2013, Bacon was crowned Miss Golden Globe 2014. Chosen each year by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Miss Golden Globe assists with the Globes ceremony and is typically the daughter of Hollywood celebrities.

In 2014, Bacon was cast in the leading female role of the independent film Off Season, opposite Chance Kelly, which was released in 2017. Following up her role in 13 Reasons Why, Bacon was cast in Here and Now, a 2018-debuting HBO family drama series from award-winning writer-producer Alan Ball, as Kristen, the youngest daughter of a couple played by Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter. She appeared in HBO's 2021 limited series Mare of Easttown, as Carrie Layden. She starred in the 2022 horror film Smile as Dr. Rose Cotter, and received praise for her performance.
