6 degrees of Kevin Bacon
 

Wow I'm kind of shocked that we don't have a thread for this, considering we've got some movie buffs on this forum.

I figure we do it like any other "game", one person says an actor, the next "connects" to Kevin Bacon and gives another actor, etc...

I'm sure I'd be able to connect this person but I don't have the energy (right now) to search the net. LOL.


So...


Arnold (yeah so not going to spell his last name).

Batman & Robin (George Clooney)
Oceans 11 (Julia Roberts)
Flatliners (Kevin Babon)

Next: Katherine Hepburn

On Golden Pond (Dabney Coleman)
You've Got Mail (Tom Hanks; he played Tom Hanks dad in the movie)
Apollo 13 (Kevin Bacon)

I must say thank goodness for imdb.com :D

This might take more than 6 (but hey if someone can do it, you deserve an award)...

Next: Clark Gable

But if it is too hard....

2nd choice: Natalie Portman

Clark Gable--George Reeves (gone w/ the wind)
George Reeves--Burt Lancaster (from here to eternity)
