Kevin Bacon
In recent years, Kevin Bacon acted in some of the best — and darkest — American films; from Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River to The Woodsman, where Bacon played a pedophile. Bacon talks with Kurt Andersen about why he wanted to direct Loverboy, which stars his wife Kyra Sedgwick as a mother with an oedipal complex.
