Surprise! Mare of Easttown fans have learned that the character Carrie Layden is played by the daughter of mega-stars Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
On TV: Sosie Bacon, 29, plays the drug addict mother of Mare’s grandson Drew — and it’s clear to many fans that she inherited her parents’ talent
Famous family: Sosie was Miss Golden Globe in 2014 and was accompanied to the award show by her mom and dad
Sosie is currently playing Carrie Layden, the drug addict mother of Mare’s grandson Drew — and it’s clear to many fans that she inherited her parents’ talent.
‘A little surprised to find out that it was Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgewick’s daughter, Sosie Bacon playing Mare’s drug addict daughter in law in,’ wrote one Twitter user.
‘OMG THAT’S KEVIN BACON’S DAUGHTER?!???!!??!!??’ tweeted another.
‘Can’t believe Kevin Bacon’s daughter is in Mare of Easttown,’ wrote a third.
‘Mare’s grandson’s mom is f***ing kevin bacon & kyra sedgwick’s daughter???’ wrote one more.
Despite having two very famous parents of her own, Sosie admitted to the Philly Voice that she was nervous to work with Kate Winslet.
Wow! Mare of Easttown fans have expressed shock upon learning who Sosie is
‘You definitely are honored to be cast in something alongside those people,’ she said. ‘Maybe there’s a brief moment of sort of nerves, especially meeting anybody who is the lead of your show that you’re coming on as a recurring guest, you know?
‘And obviously Kate Winslet’s a little different. She’s like a massive star. There’s a moment of that and then once you sort of settle in and see how the other person works, you kind of realize that you have to come and deliver and work really hard.’
Sosie got a bit of help from mom and dad when she first broke into acting, scoring her first role at age 13 in 2005’s Loverboy — a film starring both her parents. Appropriately enough, she played the ten-year-old version of her mom’s character.
She also appeared in four episodes of her mom’s hit show, The Closer, in 2009.
Still, Sosie admitted to PopSugar in 2013 that she doesn’t really watch her parents’ work.

Streaming: She also had a role in the the first season of 13 Reasons Why, in which she played Skye Miller (pictured)
Sosie called Kate Winslet ‘a massive star’ and admitted she was a bit nervous to work with her
‘Honestly, I don’t watch their movies and stuff that often, ’cause when I was really little, they were kind of inappropriate, so I kind of just, like, stayed in that pattern,’ she said. But I just watched Mystic River recently, and I thought my dad was incredible in that.’
After taking a break to attend Brown University, she appeared on TV as Miss Golden Globe 2014.
She then appeared in a couple of TV movies before earning a role on Scream: The TV Series from 2015 to 2016.
That was followed by several small roles before she was cast in 10 episodes of Here and Now in 2018 and the first season of 13 Reasons Why, in which she played Skye Miller.
Her last role before Mare was Narcos: Mexico in 2020.
