Kyra Sedgwick and the lighter side of disability in "All of Me"
CBSN
It's been more than 40 years since Kyra Sedgwick first appeared on TV, on the soap opera "Another World." She recalled her lines from her first scene: "Oh, my God: 'I'm on the road with a rock group, Grandma. It's called The Deep Six'," she laughed. "I was 16 years old, and that's when I fell in love with acting."
In the decades since, she's costarred in movies like "Born on the Fourth of July," "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," and "Singles." She headlined the hit TV series "The Closer," and she's directed for the big and small screens.
So, what is Kyra Sedgwick doing in a 157-seat Off-Broadway theater? "I love the play," she explained, "and it feels like we're talking about stuff that's important that doesn't get a lot of light shown on it, which is disability, but doing it in this incredible container of a rom-com and, like, a family dysfunction story – which is my jam!"
