Childhood & Early Life
She was born Sosie Ruth Bacon, on March 15, 1992, to Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, in Los Angeles, US. Both her parents are reputed names in the American entertainment industry.

Her parents wanted to raise her as an ordinary child and did not initially want her to become an actor, because of the fast-paced life in Hollywood. She attended ‘Riverdale Country School’ in the Bronx and was raised according to the Jewish faith, along with the other children in the neighborhood. Whenever her parents were out shooting, she spent time with her elder brother, Travis.
Her first exposure to films came when her father decided to cast her in a flashback scene in the 2005 film ‘Loverboy.’ The role was that of the 10-year-old version of the character played by her mother in the family drama. She appeared singing David Bowie’s song ‘Life on Mars?’ in the movie. Her brother, too, had a minor role in the movie, making it a family affair. According to her father, he had selected Sosie for the role because no one else could have played it better.
Although her parents did not want her to start an acting career, she caught the eye of producer James Duff, who recognized her acting potential. He persuaded her parents to allow her to appear in his police procedural drama ‘The Closer’ in 2009. The show also featured her mother who played the role of ‘Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.’ Young Sosie enjoyed the experience of acting, after which she finished school to please her parents.
She completed high school and joined the prestigious ‘Brown University’ for further studies. She also studied acting at the musical theater company ‘CAP21,’ while at the university. Sosie took a liking to show business and ultimately convinced her parents to allow her to pursue her dream of becoming an actor.
