Sosie Bacon

Sosie Ruth Bacon (born March 15, 1992) is an American actress who grew up under the bright lights of Hollywood as the daughter of acclaimed actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Despite the famous lineage, her parents deliberately tried to give her a normal childhood and resisted pushing her toward the screen, allowing her to discover acting on her own terms. Her first credited role came at age 13, when she portrayed ten‑year‑old Emily in the 2005 indie drama Loverboy, a film directed by her father; the adult version of Emily was played by her mother, creating a unique on‑screen family dynamic. The performance earned her notice for a whimsical a‑cappella rendition of David Bowie’s Life on Mars? that was described by The New York Times as 'grotesquely funny.' After a brief hiatus to attend school, Bacon studied at Brown University and honed her craft at CAP21, a musical‑theatre conservatory, before returning to television with a guest spot on The Closer in 2009, a role encouraged by producer James Duff. Over the next decade she built a steady résumé of film and TV work, starring in independent features such as Wishin' and Hopin' (2014) and Charlie Says (2018), and appearing in popular series including 13 Reasons Why (2017‑2018), Narcos: Mexico (2020), and the critically acclaimed limited series Mare of Easttown (2021) where she played Carrie Layden. In 2022 she stepped into the horror genre as Dr. Rose Cotter in Smile, receiving praise for delivering a compelling blend of vulnerability and resolve. Alongside her acting career, Bacon was crowned Miss Golden Globe 2014, a role that introduced her to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual ceremony and highlighted her poise on the red‑carpet. Today, she continues to balance independent projects with mainstream television, demonstrating a versatile talent that is both rooted in a celebrated family legacy and defined by her own evolving artistic choices.
