I’ve updated the Kyra Sedgwick Network Gallery with screencaptures from her 1998 film, Lemon Sky. Now this is the film she met Kevin on as well.

Zap to it has a new interview up with Kyra talking about The Closer and the Emmy Nominations coming up.

“I’d love the show to get nominated one year,” she says. “I think we deserve it. It’s one of the best dramas on television, and we’ve been overlooked in that area.”

The show’s producers submitted an episode called “Strike Three” in the drama series category this year. “It’s actually one with [guest star] Mary McDonnell where a fellow LAPD officer has been murdered,” Sedgwick says. “At the end of it we’re all in our dress blues and everybody in uniform; it’s a really great episode.”

More thoughts from Sedgwick on the Emmys:

On her own chances at another nomination: “I’ll be really sad if I don’t get nominated. I’ll say I’m fine, but I’ll be really sad,” she says with a laugh.

I’d Love the Show to get Nominated

More has a preview of the new July/Aug magazine that Kyra is on the cover of. That should be on newsstands on June 22nd.

You wouldn’t think a beauty like Kyra Sedgwick ever struggled with body-image issues, but in the July/August issue of MORE, on newsstands June 22, she reveals that she’s no different from many other women. “Food has never been easy for me,” she tells writer Meryl Gordon, adding that the catalyst was a role in the 1985 film War and Love, for which she was required to lose 20 pounds to play a Holocaust survivor. “I came back from that, and it triggered something,” she says. “I ate everything in sight. My weight went up and then too far down.” She admits she struggled with food and body-image issues for years, finally throwing out her scale, tired of the mood swings and her self-judgmental reaction. “I’m so grateful that I don’t get on a scale because it’s never going to be the right number.”

ABC News has a new interview & article up about Kyra, The Closer, and the Emmys. Check it out over on our Kyra Sedgwick Press Archive.

For five years, Kyra Sedgwick has thrilled viewers with the glee of swiftly served justice as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, head of the LAPD’s Major Crimes Division, on TNT’s hit drama “The Closer.”

Perhaps the next major crime Johnson’s team should be solving is why there’s no Emmy or SAG Award gracing Sedgwick’s mantel for the role, despite nominations for each honor every season since the show’s inception.

Maybe it’s because she makes it look easy. Never mind that animating Johnson is a titan task: Professionally she’s a tiger disguised as a kitten; personally her life is a tangled ball of yarn that often ends up collecting dust in a corner. In either case, she seems to be going in a million directions at once.

“She’s looking for something while speaking her lines while walking down a hall while trying to eat a piece of chocolate while trying to manipulate somebody,” says Sedgwick of a typical scene involving her character.

“I think one of the things that the writers like to do, because they like to see Brenda in difficult, complex situations, is to give me a lot of difficult, complex situations where I’m juggling 20 different things.”

Big Updates to the Kyra Sedgwick Network, with new episode stills and promo photos for season 6 of The Closer, starting July 12.

There’s only a handful of articles, but we’ve launched the press archive for Kyra Sedgwick Fan, a year by year resource of articles and other interviews with Kyra.
