Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Hey, I just realized my degree of Baconness has shrunk!

Before:
My h.s. lit teacher Mr. Shifflet
also taught Madonna (in high school in Detroit)
who was in Dick Tracy with Dustin Hoffman
who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.

Now:
I was an extra in Head of State with Chris Rock
Who was in Lethal Weapon 4 with Joe Pesci
Who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.

I’m a 3!!! And anyone who knows me is thus a 4!!!

Humphery Bogart was in “Casablanca” with Peter Lorre, who was in “Tales of Terror” with Vincent Price," who was in “Edward Scissorhands” with Dianne Wiest, who was in “Footloose” with Kevin Bacon.

James Earl Jones

Too easy.

James Earl Jones was in Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner
who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon

Charlie Chaplin

i play this game, only i connect myself to celebrities in 7 degrees or less.

I am connected to the entire cast of “Firends”. Oh, and Brad Pitt.

I’m a 5, myself.

  1. Olentzero is married to
  2. Mrs. O, who dated this Irishman named Ciaran, who is the cousin of
  3. Neal McDonough (that blond dude in Boomtown), who was in “Three Wishes” with
  4. Colleen Camp, who was in “Trapped” with
  5. some guy or other.

I did craft service on Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Matthew McConaughey
who was in A Time to Kill with Kiefer Sutherland
who was in Flatliners with KB.

(I can also use Renee Zellweger from the same film, same number of hops.)

Bacon did that VISA commercial that played on the game, which I thought was pretty cool of him.

  1. Charlie Chaplin was in “Limelight” with Claire Bloom
  2. Claire Bloom was in “Crimes & Misdemeanors” with Martin Landau
  3. Martin Landau was in “Ed Wood” with Bill Murray
  4. Bill Murray was in “Wild Things” with Kevin Bacon

So, how about…
Sabu !

Animal House is a wonderful resource for this game…

Um…Let’s see…Oh, heck, ** John Astin **

I’m friends with an actor who was on a soap (name obviously deleted).
Aforementioned actor was on this soap with Kyra Sedgwick.

  1. John Astin was in “National Lampoon’s European vacation” with Chevy Chase.

  2. Chevy Chase was in “Three Amigos” with Steve Martin

  3. Steve Martin raced Kevin Bacon for a cab in “Planes, Trains & Automobiles.”

How about Johnny Weismueller? (Since no one threw another one out)

Sorry if the name is misspelled, but I mean the guy who played Tarzan.

  1. Johnny Weissmuller was in a host of Tarzan movies (let’s say “Tarzan’s New York Adventure”) with Maureen O’Sullivan.

  2. Maureen O’Sullivan was in “Hannah & her Sisters” with Dianne Wiest.

  3. Dianne Wiest was in “Footloose” with Kevin Bacon.

My turn again…

Ahhhh yessssss… JERRY COLONNA (in honor of Bob Hopes’ 100th birthday)

After I posted I got to thinking…I have another path to KB that’s even fewer degrees.

(Ex-wife again)

whose uncle (actually, aunt’s ex-husband) was (one of the scriptwriters of Pale Rider).

Chris Penn appeared in Pale Rider

Penn also appeared in Footloose, as of course did Kevin Bacon.

That’s four then. Though the earlier path, taking in a Nobel laureate, is much more interesting.

I was an Extra in Iron Eagle IV With Lou Gossett Jr., who was in Return to Lonesome Dove with Chris Cooper who was in October Sky with Laura Dern who was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon.

Jerry Colonna (had to look him up) was in Meet Me in Las Vegas, which had a Frank Sinatra cameo.

Sinatra was in Guys and Dolls with Marlon Brando.

Brando and Sutherland were in A Dry White Season.

Sutherland & Bacon – JFK.

Edward G. Robinson

Edward G. Robinson was in Key Largo with Lauren Bacall.

Lauren Bacall was in Altman’s Ready to Wear with Stephen Rea.

Stephen Rea was in Interview with the Vampire with Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.
And now for me…

Cbawlmer was in Texas (the concert film of his band) with Russell Crowe.

Russell Crowe was in A Beautiful Mind with Ed Harris.

Ed Harris was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.
