When we think of strong, loving Hollywood couples, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick come to mind.
They have been married for over 30 years, celebrating their 35th anniversary this year with a sweet throwback photo on social media.
Despite their long careers in the entertainment industry, there was a time when they lost millions…
In 2009, their lives turned upside down when they got caught in Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme, which was the largest in history. This scam cost them up to $30 million, as estimated by StyleCaster. Bacon mentioned on the SmartLess podcast that they lost “most of our money.”
They were just two of many celebrities and high-profile figures who were scammed by Madoff’s “too good to be true” financial schemes.
“There are obvious life lessons here. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is,” Bacon told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. “When something like that happens, you look at each other and say, ‘Well, that sucks. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.’”
Despite the setback, 65-year-old Bacon and 58-year-old Sedgwick used the adversity as an opportunity to reflect and focus on the positives. “We’ve made it this far, our kids are healthy, we’re healthy. Let’s look at what we have that’s good,” Bacon said on the October 2022 podcast.
Bacon and Sedgwick decided to step away from the spotlight and Hollywood, finding peace and happiness on a cozy farm in Connecticut.
Over time, they shared glimpses of their daily lives on social media. Sedgwick posted so many videos of her and their goats on TikTok that people now recognize her more for that than her acting roles!
“People say, ‘We love you singing with the goats.’ Kevin and I are like, ‘Great, but have you seen our movies or TV shows?’ But it makes people happy,” the actress and producer told People in March this year.
Interestingly, Bacon and Sedgwick aren’t the only celebs drawn to farm life. In fact, famed actress Jennifer Garner decided to buy back the farm her mother grew up on and transform it into an organic produce project for baby food.
What do you think of celebs gravitating towards farm life? Do you think it would be a nice break from the fast-paced Hollywood experience? Let us know in the comments!
Baby Born With Unusual Syndrome – 22 Years Later She Looks Amazing
These young, allegedly productive qualities are seen in the 99-63-91 body, which stands 1.68 meters tall.
In reality, though, a woman’s level of fertility would rely on a multitude of factors, with physical type playing a relatively minor role.
Despite the fact that obesity has been linked to miscarriages, pregnancy difficulties, and infertility in women, infertility problems can affect anyone, regardless of size.
Mary’s pregnancy and delivery had proceeded without any complications. There were no signs that their daughter Michelle experienced any problems when she was born. Yet the moment she opened her eyes, the physicians realized something wasn’t quite right. They didn’t figure out what it was until they perused medical texts and talked to a geneticist at a different hospital.
Michelle’s face was large and innocent. She had a nose like a little beak, and she was balding. It was discovered that she had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, a hereditary illness of which there are only 250 known cases worldwide.
Michelle was born at Children’s Memorial Hospital, where no one had ever seen it in person.
When the doctor told us we had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, my heart fell. “I was concerned about how we were going to care for our child who had a rare genetic disease that was one in five million,” Michelle’s mother said.
Michelle exhibits 26 of the 28 symptoms that are associated with the condition. Although the sickness affects only one in five million people, it can lead to a variety of health issues.
Michelle is just two years older than her sister, yet she can barely reach over her waist because of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome and dwarfism.
Because of her illness, Michelle needs a lot of help, including an electric wheelchair, a respirator, a hearing aid, a probe, and visual aids. Michelle and her family have also had to spend a lot of time in the hospital as a result of the illness. She may be mistaken for a toddler while being 25 years old due to her appearance.
As a 20-year-old, Michelle is happier than ever and as intelligent as a poodle. She is among the happiest twentysomethings I’ve ever met.Her mother Mary continued, saying:
She brightens people’s days with her happiness. She is aware of her differences, but she refuses to let them define her.
Michelle is a great, distinctive young woman despite her challenges. Among other things, she aspires to date and become like her older sister. She doesn’t mind his height because practically everyone is taller than her, but she wished his hair was longer.
Her goal is to become a doctor as well!
