Crisp Bacon

Last week, for a profile of actress Kyra Sedgwick, I interviewed Kevin Bacon, who directed his wife in "Loverboy," a film opening Friday starring Sedgwick in an obsessive mother-son relationship (the second season of her TNT cop series "The Closer" premieres tonight at 9, making the actress this week's hardest-working woman in Hollywood):

Q: How does working with your wife as a director or co-star differ from working with another actress?

Bacon: Well, I’m sleeping with her. Nowadays, I’m not sleeping with all the actresses I work with.

Good answer, and after his joke, Bacon answered my query far more thoroughly and thoughtfully. But a blog is a blog, not Le Petit Monde des Films Français, so we'll leave it at that.
