Kyra Sedgwick

Kyra Segwick's acting career has spanned nearly four decades but it all started on the soap opera Another World when she was just 16 years old. "I felt like a misfit toy. Because suddenly you're different from everyone else. But I was dead serious."

That seriousness led her to roles in the films and . Her role as Brenda Leigh Johnson on thethat ran for seven seasons earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe award. In the police procedural her character's signature, catchphrase "Thank you; thank you so much..." had more to it than it appeared on paper, "she was incredible, underestimated wherever she went.
