In another thread, Eve wrote
So, I propose we play a game of Degrees of Seperation from Eve. For example:
Katharine Hepburn
Katharine Hepburn was in Love Affair with Irene Olga Lopez
Irene Olga Lopez was in Out of the Dark with Divine
Divine was in Polyester with Eve
Ok, who wants to try
Buddy Hackett
Waitaminute! I have also been professionally associated–as a journalist–with Sharon Stone, Eddie Murphy, Lillian Gish, Anita Page, Shirley MacLaine, Margaret O’Brien, Adam Sandler, Christina Ricci, Lili Taylor, Sylvia Sidney, Esther Ralston, Olivia de Havilland, Gilbert Roland, Ashley Judd, Alfre Woodard, Nicolas Cage and John Landis. That I can remember offhand.
So I’m pretty sure you’re all connected to me!
Wow, Buddy Hackett is tough! He wasn’t in a whole lot of projects, it seems.
Anyway:
Buddy Hackett was in Bud and Lou with Harvey Korman, who was on The Carol Burnett Show with Tim Conway, who was in The Private Eyes with Don Knotts, who was in Pleasantville with Tobey Maguire, who was in S.F.W. with Stephen Dorff, who was in Cecil B. DeMented by John Waters, who got a world-class performance from our very own Eve in Polyester.
That took a long time.
Next up: Elvis Presley.
Buddy Hackett’s last name is a homonym for what Eve would like to do to BabyTalk Cow-orker’s head.
Sorry. Someone should be along shortly to do it right.
I lived across the street from a guy whose best friend was Elvis’s drummer.
Oh, and I guess that puts Eve in touch with Elvis through me?
If not, I have no clue how to get from Elvis To Eve through movie roles connections.
Disregard this post and the earlier post by Zeldar, who didn’t read the rules.
Elvis Presley was in Fun in Acapulco with Ursula Andress.
Ursula Andress was in Dr. No with Sean Connery.
Sean Connery was in Wrong is Right (The closing scene is hysterical) with Eve.
Next: John Wayne
KRS-ONE
Krs-One was in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka with Isaac Hayes
Isaac Hayes was in Posse with Tiny Lister
Tiny Lister was in Goldmember with Michael Caine
Michael Caine was in Deathtrap with Eve
Her and The Teacha practically grew up together!
I don’t mean to sound unintelligent here, but some things can’t be helped. Who is Eve? How does she know all of these famous people? Help to educate me!
1 - Buddy Hackett co-starred with Mickey Rooney in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
2 - Mickey Rooney and Michael Caine co-starred in Pulp.
3 - Michael Caine starred in Deathtrap in which Eve Golden appeared as an extra.
Eve is Eve Golden. In addition to gracing us with her presense here, she is a reknowned journalist in the entertainment field and the author of five books. And a close personal friend of Buddy Hackett.

John Wayne was in Rio Lobo with Peter Jason
Peter Jason was in Village of the Damned with Christopher Reeve
Christopher Reeve was in Deathtrap with Eve
next up: Buddy Epson
Dunno about Buddy, but the degrees of separation between Already in Use and Eve are too damn many!
Hey, I can link me to Eve in four steps:
Eve was in Wrong is Right with Sean Connery
Sean Connery was in Rising Sun with Tony Ganios
Tony Ganios was in The Wanderers with Erland van Lidthe (de Jeude)
and CalMeacham was in college productions of Man of la Mancha and 1776 with Erland van Lidthe de Jeude.
There are other possible routes, but I don’t think I could get my Degree of Everation down below 4 unless I appeared in a movie with her.
(This entry written with invaluable help from The Oracle of Bacon at http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/star_links.html )
I invaded England as a Twisted Commando with Dee Snider.
Dee Snider was in “Private Parts” with Mia Farrow.
Mia Farrow was in “Hannah and her Sisters” with Michael Caine.
Who appeared in “Deathtrap” with Eve.
Hmmmm… My brother was an extra in Amistad. Can anyone do the math for me?
I was in a community theater production with Sondra Locke before she got hooked up with Eastwood. Any links from Eve to Locke or Eastwood are one (or two) step(s) away from me.
This is even better than the Elvis connection.
How’s this, Trion:
Eve was an extra in Deathtrap
Christopher Reeve was in Deathtrap with Eve
Anthony Hopkins was in The Remains of the Day with Christopher Reeve
Trion’s Brother was an extra in Amistad, which also had Anthony Hopkins
Trion’s Brother was probably in home movies/video with Trion
All the above through the Oracle of Bacon.
Thanks Cal. That’s great!
A good friend of mine (1) was an extra in The Hudsucker Proxy with Jennifer Jason Leigh (2), who was in Wrong is Right with Eve (3).
