Here's an article from todays paper and Kyra talking about her role on "THE CLOSER"
TV DETECTIVE REMAINS CLUELESS IN HER OWN WAY
Kyra Sedgwick is learning from her charatcter on "The Closer" "I love the way she is so full of power, and she is unapologetic about it", says Sedgwick, who is in the 4th season of playing the confident and empathetic detective, Brenda Johnson, on the hit series [9pm Mondays on TNT] "I love how funny she is, she is so clueless about her own emotionality. She is so intutitive about other people, but she doesn't have a clue about herself" Sedgwick has been nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. The awards will be presented next month. Brenda represents her first long-term starring part in TV. she wants the character to be a role model for women, which she says is a rareity in televison these days. "She's a fascinating woman, as an actress to step into someone like me who always wants to talk about other people's feelings, she is totally not like that in real life. She has no interest in herself" Sedgwick says. "It's hard to find roles like that if you're a woman. There aren't a lot of good writers out there
, and there are a lot who don't know anything about a woman. Brenda is not a role that Sedgwick finds easy to walk away from. Alsdo an executive producer on the series, she says absorbs her life. "It's like a marriage in that I literally give myself up to this character six months out of every year, and it takes up every single fiber of my being for that 6 months" Kyra had two children with actor Kevin Bacon. "I steal an occasional moment to be with my family, but for the most part it is a total takeover, and a total mind takeover. I have to memorize the lines, but I also give myself over to the character 6 months out of the year. Confident and connected, even Sedgwick confesses she has moments of helplessness, I fell powerless all the time" she says. "There are a million things I am powerless over. I feel that every day. "I am powerless over what people think of me, I don't think any actress thinks they care what other people think, if they do whey become an actress"
