Kevin Bacon is Now 61
Since this was Kevin Bacon’s first movie role, when he went to the film’s premiere, he wasn’t allowed to sit with the cast. Why? Because the ushers didn’t believe he was in it! So he had to sit in the back with everyone else. Poor Kevin. Fun Fact: The scene when the stressed-out Chip Diller screaming “All is well!” at the parade has become an internet meme, used to mock people’s stubborn refusal to accept the facts.

It was 1984’s ‘Footloose’ that turned Kevin Bacon into a pop culture icon. He cranked out endless movies ever since, and, in 2013, became a full-time TV star with the crime series ‘The Following’ and now stars in ‘City on a Hill’ as Jackie Rohr. Bacon is married to Kyra Sedgwick. The two met while doing a theater production of ‘Lemon Sky’ in 1987, and got married the following year. Bacon directed Sedgwick on a few occasions, including some episodes of her series ‘The Closer.’
