Today, I was thinking about the game “6 degrees of Kevin Bacon” while running some errands. (For those that don’t know, it has been suggested that everyone in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon within 6 degrees.). So I picked two names out of the air that I thought would be pretty disconnected, and wanted to see if they were linked within 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. I used John Wayne and Geena Davis.
So I thought it would be fun to try this out here. Pick any two actors and see if we can link them with Kevin Bacon within 6 degrees.
Rules:
you can choose any two actors you want, alive or dead.
you can link them only through movies, however you aren’t limited to just actors. You can also use directors, since directors would have contact with the two actors you are linking.
as of now, only directors… No producers, writers, relatives, or anything else. If we need to change this, we can, but for right now, i’d like to keep this as simple as possible for everyone.
The person who answers the one out there gets to add the next one.
Whoever gets the current challenge, please show your answer, so we can all see it. Make sure it is 6 degrees or less.
If the answer the poster intended is different than the one someone else found, that’s fine. In a case like this, the original poster can come back in and show his/her solution as well.
Please pick one that has at lease one answer!
Have fun, everyone. If there is something unclear, just ask. This should be fairly easy as far as rules go.
To summarize.
two actors, dead or alive
must link actors through Kevin Bacon by using Movies and/or directors ONLY
answer must be 6 or less degrees
supply your answer in a post
person who answered, please supply the next pair of actors.
Well, it looks correct, but my solution was different.
John Wayne was in the Shootist with Ron Howard.
Ron Howard Directed Kevin Bacon in Apollo 13
Kevin Bacon was in Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks was in A League of Their Own with Geena Davis
As I said in my post, I picked those two names out of the air. Charlton Heston was one of my favorite actors, and Alan Hale was a character actor in a million films. For him I rather figured he’d get connected through Errol Flynn, because they were in so many movies together. For example, he was Little John, to Flynn’s Robin Hood.
