Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
This Show Never Fails
What do Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have in common? They are both famous actors and both descend from prominent American families that have been in this country since its inception. But they share something else, too: Both had ancestors who were early opponents of slavery.
This episode is probably the most notorious of the series because of the "big reveal" it contains. But let us not dwell on that, and how largely insignificant it is.
More interesting is how this episode was able to find such important historical figures in both of these actor's lives. Bacon's family was influential throughout Philadelphia's entire history. Sedgwick's family was hugely influential all over, including at the Declaration. Wow. That is what makes this show so great -- not just for its genealogy, but for what it can tell us about our place in history.

Six Degrees Kevin Bacon discovers his actress wife Kyra Sedgwick is his cousin
According to the trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, anyone on earth is just six connections away from the Hollywood star.
So perhaps the actor should have been a little wary before agreeing to take part in a television show investigating his family ancestry.
However Bacon was stunned to learn that he and his wife, the actress Kyra Sedgwick, are actually cousins.
The revelation is delivered to the Hollywood couple during Finding Your Roots, a PBS America series in which famous Americans are given an insight into their family backgrounds.
In tomorrow night’s episode, Bacon, 54 and Sedgwick, 47, the star of Singles and television crime drama The Closer, are shown how their families are intimately linked to key moments in American history, including the Declaration of Independence and the battle to abolish slavery.
However DNA analysis also revealed that Bacon, star of Footloose and serial killer television series The Following, are connected to each other.
Presenter Henry Louis Gates Jr, the distinguished Harvard professor of African-American history, shows Sedgwick a picture of her 9th cousin once removed. “And his name is Kevin Bacon,” he says, as her face crumples in horror.
