Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) "hates" George Bush (Vanity)
Yet another DUmmie actor speaks out. Yesterday's "Inside the Actor's Studio" featured Kyra Sedgwick, who, when asked "what sound do you hate the most?" responded "George Bush's voice." (Paraphrased from memory)
My wife is a big fan of "The Closer." I can tolerate it because it's important to Mrs. MarineBrat. I mentioned to Mrs. MarineBrat just how ignorant it is for an "actor" to inject political beliefs into a discussion about acting. When it becomes more important to get a dig in than it is to avoid insulting half of the audience... brilliant! Brilliant!!! Oh, wait, she's not really smart like the character that she plays... she just acts that way. I hope it comes back to haunt her bad! (Which is why I posted this vanity anyway) :)
Thanks for posting. She has fallen prey to the old adage:
“It is better to have people to think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
Kyra who?
Here’s $.50. Go call someone who gives a rip what Kyra Sedgwick thinks.
I’m not surprised. Let’s play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. Kyra is married to him. Kevin is buddy-buddy with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. They are all Liberal freak shows. Well, that’s only 4, but hey...
I have to laugh, though. The only reason I haven’t watched that show is because her voice has always annoyed me. What a coinky-dink.
Probably better known for being married to Kevin Bacon.
Other than that, I can’t tell you what movies she’s done.
Ah, more vitriolic hatred and intolerance from the Left. How quaint.
I used to enjoy the Closer but it’s now off my watch list. Piss on her.
I have to say President Bush’s voice irritates me also. I am so disappointed in some of the things he has done-so what.
...had to look her up myself.
The sound I hate the most is when so called actors and actresses open their mouths about things the know nothing about. That’s the worst sound in the world.
I wonder if we here at Free Republic owe an apology to all the Hollywood types we have abused over the years for their dislike of George Bush. Since President Bush has fallen out of favor around here, it appears we were just slow to catch on to what they have known all along.
She was married to Kevin Bacon. I don’t think anyone’s mistaken her as the brightest bulb on the marquee.
What is she saying that most Freepers here nowadays aren’t saying as well?
I haven’t liked her acting, ever, and godamighty she’s homely. She’s like a female version of Skeletor. Though she’s all over it, “Singles” is a pretty good movie, if only for the X-Man scene, however.
However, if you eliminate TV shows based upon stars that don’t like Bush, you’ll be stuck with...okay, I can’t think of anything that will be left. You’ll probably read a lot more, let’s put it that way.
To me she looks like the one night stand you really see for the first time in the morning.
This has become commonplace on the Actor’s Studio. Why must this be covered during these interviews?
Half the audience?
I'd guess the percentage is significantly lower than half...........
Kevin Bacon could have done a lot better.
The whole premise of the show made me not even tune in. What do you expect from Turner channels anyway?
They promo’d a new show during the NASCAR race on Sunday - Holly Hunter in “Saving Grace”. Ooooooh - ANOTHER female cop show (nothing against Holly), but the theme song they were playing was “Not Ready To Make Nice” by the Dixie Chicks. Way to alienate potential viewers there, guys, but also to air the ad during a substandard NASCAR broadcast (FOX’s graphics and camera changes were WAY better than the rain-shortened race on Sunday).
And don’t get me started on the weekly Julia Roberts movies, shown ad nauseum.
I don’t watch her show. Now I don’t like her, either.
“I used to enjoy the Closer but it’s now off my watch list. Piss on her.”
I am dissappointed in her too. I liked that show. New episodes starting June 18th.
See my tagline.
“The sound I hate the most is when so called actors and actresses open their mouths about things the know nothing about. That’s the worst sound in the world.”
I was thinking the same thing!
I'll tell you what sound I hate the most. The sound of Kyra Sedgwick's fake Southern accent on "The Closer." It's straight out of some Hollywood "accent coach," and it's SO wrong!
That said, I really wish GWB would have spent a little more time with the Toastmasters.
Well, since this immigration amnesty bill is so important to Dubya, I’m no fan lately either, FWIW. And I’m no Hollyweird lib...
She’s the star of “Closer”.
Well, most Hollywood types slam Bush just because they’re expected to, not because of any specific policy difference they could coherently describe.
Phenomenon with John Travolta. She was also the raving b** nutter sister in Something to Talk About with Julia Roberts, Dennis Quaid and Robert Duvall.
You’re right. I’ve never heard such bashing as I’ve heard here.
A shame. I always found her to be sexy and unique.
This woman’s voice is fingernails on a blackboard for me. Her “drawl” might as well be from Boston or Baltimore.
Fifty cents? You are way too generous. :-)
Ill be taking this show off the DVR recording schedule now...
Phenomenon?
I remember that movie. It wasn’t too bad.
Thanks for telling me.
That’s too bad. I’ve always thought she was a good actress, but now I’m going to stop watching her.
Tell me that question was not a setup for that answer..
What’s up with all that lipstick she wears on the show? Looks like clown makeup.
Our dislike of President Bush extends to his policy on immigration and lack of resolve for defending his judicial nominees.
Saying “I hate the sound of his voice” cuts it to the quick. “Can’t stand that man”. Bill Clinton and Al Gore repeatedly lied to her and the rest of America and yet she has more hatred of President Bush.
So we can assume why she hates the sitting President but gave a pass to other Presidents and contenders.
Sleeping with the enemy is the new Hollywood casting couch. Wouldn't want to be "politically incorrect" and get blacklisted...
Thanks for posting this. I actually like the show and it has been one of the few things that I watch regularly and now I won’t.
It’s not that I fly into some sort of rage over these dopes. It’s just that, when they say things like this, it sticks in my mind and I just no longer take any pleasure in watching them...so I don’t.
YIPES! Scrape and peel the makeup off her and we are talking coyote ugly.
“Inside” must really have jumped the shark if they have to interview insignificant actors such as Sedgwick. She wouldn’t even get any gigs anyway if she wasn’t Mrs. Kevin Bacon.
She’s got such an ugly mouth. It’s like you can’t see her teeth when she smiles sometimes.
My uncle was a famous actor for many, many years. He was almost a Socialist in his leanings. For the most part, no one ever knew that about him because he was well aware there were at least two schools of thought on political things and he did not want to antagonize those who did not agree with him and jeopardize his career by having a big mouth. He LIKED his job, and believed entertaining without antagonizing was what he was essentially paid to do. And he was no weenie, either.
They are still married......i hope Kevin Bacon keeps his mouth shut. I still like him....
Ditto
Must be Hollywood's idea of what a Southern gal looks like. I'm surprised they don't have her smoke a corncob pipe.
A good example is what is happening this week. Bob Barker is retiring from The Price is Right after 35 highly successful years. Aside from his stand on animal rights and controlling the pet population he's kept his political beliefs to himself. His contestants have run the gamut of teenagers to senior citizens to active duty personnel who are encouraged to attend wearing their uniforms. My retired mother freaked recently when she heard that one of the people who've expressed a desire to succeed him is none other than Rosie O'Donnell. Is there anyone who believes that CBS would take their weekday morning cash-cow and put it in the hands of this woman? Now if this fish-monger's wife had kept her mouth shut and continued to play "Queen of Nice" as she did when her own show first started she might've had a chance. But after her half-baked political bloviations on The View her chances of taking over that show would make betting on the survival of a snowball in Hell seem like a sure thing.
To Kyra and the rest of Hollywood's "elite", you think you're smarter than the rest of us, do like Reagan and other performers have done. Put up or shut up...
>>Tell me that question was not a setup for that answer..
It’s a bit if a tradition on “Inside The Actor’s Studio” to have a rapid-fire Q&A portion. Most of them get the same list of simple questions such as favorite color, food, time of year, sound, etc... along with things that they dislike the most.
Kyra Sedgwick’s favorite sound was the sounds that her kids make when they get home from school, and the sound she dislikes the most is George Bush’s voice. I’m not a huge fan of Bush’s these days anwyay, but I respect him exponentially more than an actress who can’t even hold her tongue on a silly “meet the actor” show.
