The [Kevin Bacon Oracle](http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/) will tell you how many steps it takes to get from any given actor to Kevin Bacon. Almost all of the names I entered only had two steps. Hell, Theda Bara was only three steps.

See if you can come up with some actors who are over 4 degrees away. Let me know what you get. Good luck!
