Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick are among the many victims of the
massive Ponzi scheme run by the disgraced New York money manager Madoff.
Bacon's publicist, Allen Eichhorn, confirmed Tuesday that the couple had
investments with Madoff. He wouldn't say how much money Bacon, whose most recent
film is "Frost/Nixon," and "The Closer" star Sedgwick might have lost.
Madoff told federal investigators that his investment business was "a lie"
that lost as much as US$50 billion.
Other Hollywood victims have included a charity linked to director Steven
Spielberg and his DreamWorks partner Jeffrey Katzenberg, and screenwriter Eric
Roth, whose credits include "Forrest Gump" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin
Button."
