Kyra Sedgwick
There was a time in the '80s and '90s that the lovely Kyra Sedgwick seemed
like she was being groomed to be a new Julia Roberts (and even played Roberts' sister in
"Something to Talk About"). But big film stardom
eluded her. In 2005, however, she debuted in the ... more role of a lifetime: Deputy
Police Chief Brenda Johnson on TNT's "The
Closer," for which she's won a Golden Globe and an Emmy. TNT and other cable
networks have followed suit by building engaging series around other
talented actresses -- Holly Hunter, Mary McCormack -- who've been underemployed on the
big screen. Movies' loss is definitely TV fans' gain.
