Recently, our friend Beth Feldman, founder of RoleMommy.com hosted a screening party for TNT's "The Closer" featuring a guest appearance by Golden Globe award-winning and Emmy nominated actress Kyra Sedgwick.

After partygoers enjoyed a chocolate fountain and caught a screening of the first episode, Kyra answered a barrage of questions from an audience comprised mostly of women with children. Throughout the brief Q&A session, Kyra was brutally honest about her life as a mom, wife and actress.

How do you remember your lines?
I do it by listening to a small tape recorder. Not a high tech digital one. I'm talking the old fashioned type. I listen to it as I walk everywhere. Even when I'm on the toilet and I'm not kidding. Women get that because moms are never alone when they go to the bathroom. I don't take a bath without my tape recorder. I listen to it over and over again all day long while I'm working.

What do you have to confess?
I guess this isn't a confession. But honestly, what I wish I'd done differently is that I wish I didn't feel so darn guilty about working when I worked because I never worked too much and my kids turned out really well. Unless you've killed someone, honestly, guilt is a useless emotion. I wish I didn't waste so much of my time feeling guilty.

How should we describe you?
Tall! Really tall! (laughs and lifts up her heels) Tell everyone I'm just really tired and shut down.

As a working mother, how do you organize and manage your time?
That's funny! I don't. People literally walk behind me and gather everything I've dropped. I'm not the organizer. Organizing is great if you can do it but I can't do it.

I'm in the poopy diaper stage of my life. But I know you've been married for 20 years. How do you maintain such a happy marriage?
The first secret is not to be naive enough to think that there is a secret. I think that's a start. How do we all do it? I got lucky. I really like him. I really lust after him still which is a good thing.

I think we are both similar in our managing styles. As far as changing the poopy diaper - whoever smelled it first always got to do it. Also when one of us worked, the other kind of stayed at home which was nice. I got good at being a single parent. I have empathy for the single parent. There were plenty of times where he would be working and I would be home with the kids. Not that I didn't have help. I was lucky enough to always have help.
