1992

Sosie Ruth Bacon (born March 15, 1992) is an American actress.

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.

2005

Her first role was playing 10-year-old Emily in the film Loverboy (2005), which was directed by her father, Kevin Bacon, and stars her mother, Kyra Sedgwick.

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.

Encouraged by producer James Duff, she appeared in The Closer (2009).

In 2009, she starred in The Closer.

She joined the cast of Fiction in Photographs in 2012, an off-Broadway musical by Dan Mills and Randy Redd.

2013

On November 21, 2013, Bacon was crowned Miss Golden Globe 2014.
