Producers of the TV series "The Closer" were extremely vocal about their desire for Kyra Sedgwick's daughter Sosie Bacon to join the cast. Kyra was adamant that she did not want her daughter to become embroiled in the world of show business too young, but they finally convinced her, and Sosie appeared on the series as Kyra's character "Brenda Leigh Johnson's" niece for four episodes.
