Madoff Hits Kevin Bacon
Chris Pizzello/AP
The theory that all things can eventually be connected to Kevin Bacon is true, it seems, even of Ponzi schemes. In this case, the math is pretty simple. Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedwick lost money to Bernard Madoff, although their spokesman refused to specify how much. Joining them on the losers list is Henry Kaufman, the Wall Street economist known as “Dr. Doom.” Kaufman called his losses “no more than a couple percent of my entire net worth" and "immaterial to my financial wellbeing.”

Hello to the Bacons. I am sorry to hear about your loss and hope that it was minimal. The two of you appear to be more realistic and common-sensible than most of the others, so I know that you will be fine.
Allow me at this time to say thank-you for the enjoyment that I have experienced. Long ago you both entered my very short list of those Hollywood types who are more than someone who's work I have honestly enjoyed. You also appear to be people that I would actually like if we ever should meet. This is not a request to arrange for a meeting. This is a thank-you.
That list is very short. I call it "The people I might like if we met" list. Most of the time when seeing or reading about celebrities, I just want to track them down and smack them upside the head. Just to check to see how much actually got loose in there. It is refreshing to hear about those who are just people living a good life and working hard to do the best job they can.
So hang in there. And keep up the good work.
The Daily Beast (not to mention The Times of London) would do well to get themselves a decent copy editor, or at least a better spellchecker program. Mrs. Bacon's last name is spelled Sedgwick, not Sedwick.
Thank you.
