Krya Sedgwick is clearing up the rumors surrounding how much money she and her husband Kevin Bacon lost in Berarnd Madoff's headline grabbing Ponzi scheme. Sedgwick —who is celebrating a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and The Closer's fifth season—told the Associated Press:
 
"It's been really unpleasant and makes you feel really vulnerable. But the fact of the matter is that we did not lose everything. We lost hard-earned money that we worked very hard for that was what we thought in a safe place. It's painful but a lot of people lost a lot more. And we have a lot of things to be grateful for in our life, and we never ever forget that."
