Degrees of Seperation from Eve

Trion, I think there’s a closer degree for you (if we’re counting Eve’s journalistic connections listed above). She’s met Ashley Judd, who was in A Time to Kill with Matthew McConaughey, who was in Amistad.

I’m connected through Matthew as well; I did craft service (i.e., made GatorAde) on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre IV: Whatever Subtitle They’re Using This Week.

I once had drinks with Larry Linville from MASH (not alone, with a couple of other friends). If that helps.

Ms. MacLaine went to the same High School – Washington-Lee in Arlington, Virginia – that I did. This was some 20 years before I showed up, but some of her teachers also taught me.

ooooooooh, this is most excellent. I might be able to pull off at least one, and more with some research. However, for starters, I offer this:

I operated Steadicam on a bunch of episodes of The Ricki Lake Show.

Ricki Lake was in the movie Hairspray.

John Waters directed Hairspray.

John Waters directed Eve in Polyester.

Made it in four !!! :smiley: More to come, I gotta do some heavy duty IMDB’ing and Googling. Of course, Eve is well worth the research time !

Eve was an extra in Wrong Is Right with Sean Connery

Sean Connery and I both collaborated on the same project (which I’ll leave unnamed).

That’s 2! Woo Hoo!

I was in the Whitney Young Junior High School productions of A Christmas Carol, Annie Get Your Gun, Our Miss Brooks, and The Sound of Music. How’m I connected to Eve? :wink:

And while we’re at it, what’s Eve’s Erdös number?

Chronos:

I looked into my Erdos number once, but I can’t remember what it is. Nothing low, I can assure you. I don’t know enough about Eve’s co-authors to hazard a guess at hers. As for your connections, you gotta look and see who in your crowd made it to the Big Screen and get back to us.

I was in Ferris Buehler’s Day Off. Is there an Eve connection?

I was babysitter for the son of actress Jan Lucas

who was in the TV show The Human Factor with John Mahoney

who was in The Russia House with Sean Connery

who was in *Wrong Is Right * with Eve.

I can’t get this site to work. Is there a mirror or alternate place for this. I found way too many hits on “Kevin Bacon Degrees” when I tried to Google it.

Thx

Hey, peri’s reference to a babysitter makes me realize I have a sort of connection (though I’ve never been near a movie production.)

Bill H. once fixed the television of the sister of Jason Robards
Jason Robards was in Magnolia with William H. Macy
William H. Macy was in Above Suspicion with Christopher Reeve
Christopher Reeve was in Deathtrap with Eve

MisterThyristor went to high school with Jayne Kennedy
Jayne Kennedy was in Night Trap with Michael Ironside
Michael Ironside was in Highlander II: The Quickening with Sean Connery
Sean Connery was in Wrong is Right with Eve

I toured Green Wood cemetery with Eve. One degree of seperation!

I was an extra in Collateral Damage (shot partially in Alvarado, Veracruz, Mexico), with Arnold Schwarzenneger.

Arnold was in True Lies with Jamie Lee Curtis.

Jamie Lee Curtis was in The Tailor of Panama with Geoffrey Rush.

Geoffrey Rush was in Quills with Michael Caine.

Michael Caine was in Deathtrap with Eve.

Wow! I’m pretty glad for being in this big family! And I’m not even from your country!

Note: I couldn’t see myself in the movie, but I was here.

Could someone please help me with the Ferris Buehler thing? I’m not so good at this game. Please??

No problem.

1 Kalhoun co-starred with Mia Sara in Ferris Buehler’s Day Off
2 Mia Sara co-starred with Michael Caine in 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea (the 1997 remake)
3 Michael Caine co-starred with Eve in Deathtrap

What, nobody’s going to do Kevin Bacon?

I don’t have the time and I’m terrible at this game.

That’s easy.

Kevin Bacon was in Novocaine with Steve Martin

who was in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine

who was in Deathtrap with Eve

I finally got Star Links to connect Sondra Locke and Michael Caine so that:

1 Michael Caine co-starred with Eve in Deathtrap
2 Michael Caine was in Italian Job, The (1969) with Margaret Blye
3 Margaret Blye was in Prophet’s Game, The (1999) with Sondra Locke
4 I was in a community theater play with Sondra Locke

If “having a supervision with” counts as “collaboration” then I have Erdos number 2. Woohoo! But I don’t think it does.

I wonder how Eve ranks Erdos-Bacon-wise:
