She's a sight.Crime-busting heroine of TNT's ''The Closer,'' Brenda now calls Los Angeles home.

Kyra Sedgwick's multi-talented husband, Kevin Bacon, is set to direct an episode of her hit TNT drama series The Closer. Bacon will direct the final episode of the second season, which will air on TNT this December.
