6th Degree of Kevin Bacon - GC Version
 

How far are you from Kevin Bacon? I'll start:

moe.ron was an extra in the Basketball Diaries> Leonardo Dicaprio was also in the Basketball Diaries> Leonardo Dicaprio was in the Blood Diamond with Djimon Hounsou > Djimon Hounsou was in Beauty Shop with Kevin Beacon.

I'm 3d degree removed from Kevin Bacon.

I went to college with Amerie, who was in The First Daughter with Katie Holmes, who was The Air I Breathe with Kevin Bacon. That's three degrees.

I also went to college with this chick, who is the daughter of Avery Brooks, who was in The Big Hit with Elliot Gould, who was in The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon.

I was in a study group in college with Susan Lucci's son. Susan Lucci was in Young Doctors in Love (I loved this movie as a kid!) with Demi Moore, who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

I ALSO went to college with the son of Kurt Russel, who was in Vanilla Sky with Michael Shannon, who was in The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon.

My closest link is through Amerie.

My father is a high school teacher, and one of his students was Marisol Nichols, who was in Delta Farce with Keith David, who was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon.

My best friend in 1st grade is the daughter of Peter Falk who was in Big Trouble with Gaetano Lisi who was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon.

I also grew up with the daughter of Jack Lemmon who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.

I'm friends with Greg Goosen who was in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil with John Cusack who was in Eight Men Out with Charles Siebert who was in White Water Summer with Kevin Bacon.

I'm also related to an actor who was in Geronimo: An American Legend with Jonathan Ward who was in White Water Summer with Kevin Bacon.

Was an extra in a movie, Little Fockers (I think it comes out later this year), with Robert Deniro, who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.

2 degrees of separation.

I used the site too. :)

CG once met Darius McCrary who was in Kingdom Come with Loretta Devine, who was in Funny Valentines with Alfre Woodard, who was in Beauty Shop with Kevin Bacon. :cool:

ETA: Ooooh thanks, Sen!

I have also met Lil' Zane who was in Doctor Doolittle 2 with Frankie Muniz who was in My Dog Skip with Kevin Bacon. There are a few more but that's the closest degree of separation. :D

Wow, I've never actually thought about this before!

My choreographer for Best Little Whorehouse in Texas last year (a small-town community production) used to be a personal assistant to Chad Michael Murray, who was in Freaky Friday with Stephen Tobolowsky, who was in Murder in the First with Kevin Bacon.

And yeah, I used the site too. There's NO way I would've been able to figure all that out on my own. Lol.

My friend Paul Gorfine is a scenic designer/artist who worked on "Mystic River" with Kevin Bacon.

Donny Osmond has been a family friend for almost 20 years now. Donny was in Mulan with Miriam Margolyes who was in Balto with Kevin Bacon.

FTW!

I met Boomer Esiason when I was 7, he was in The Game Plan with Kyra Sedgwyck, who was in Murder in the First with Kevin Bacon.

I saw the Bacon Brothers perform at a local theater about 10 years ago, and Kevin is one of the brothers.

I waited on Kiefer Sutherland once. He was in "Flatliners" with Kevin Bacon. Is that 2 degrees?

My soror Vianessa was in Iron Man with Arne Starr who was in Frost/Nixon with Kevin Bacon.

I am friends with Liam Neeson, who was in Love Actually with Colin Firth, who was in Where The Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon. :-)

Ooh, one more! My mom and Jason Lockhart's mom were in the same hospital room when they had us and we grew up together. Jason was in the TV show Bones with David Boreanaz, who was in Valentine with Denise Richards, who was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.

One my close HS friends was Kevin & Keira's kids' nanny quite a few years ago. She is still friends with the family.

Not exactly movies but....

My brother went to high school with Bob Guiney (Bachelor Bob) who was on VH1 Big in 03 with Kid Rock who was in Elvis Lives with Kevin Bacon.

I know, they were reality type shows, but hey why not!

My friend is a cameraman in Hollywood who has done filming with both Paul Newman and Susan Sarandon (that I know of, for all I know he has filmed Kevin Bacon himself!).

Paul Newman was in Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man with Eli Wallach who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

Susan Sarandon was in Cradle Will Fall with Tim Robbins who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

How the heck many people were in Mystic River anyway??

I was a childhood friend of Regina King....

Regina was in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise. Tom starred in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon....

Also I was an extra in Bedazzled (2000) with Brendan Fraser and Brendan was in The Air I Breathe with Kevin Bacon

Okay, so that means that I'm friends with ms_gwyn who was a childhood friend of Regina King who was in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise who starred in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. :D


Aha! So this is where the love began?

Nope....what I call my A-ha moment with Mr. Fraser was Mrs. Doubtfire....I just appreciated him before that....

Brendan Fraser was in Mrs. Doubtfire? :confused:

I'll have to see that movie again!

I went to the same high school as Dennis Miller. Kevin Bacon was on Dennis Miller Live in 2000.

(It somewhat shocks me, how easy that was!)

No, you don't. He wasn't in it.

Maybe she was thinking of Mrs. Winterborne.

I went to a luau and Annie Potts was there -- when I got picked out of the audience along with two other guys to get up on stage to do a little hula-ing, she yelled "Show us your stuff, boys!," so I guess I've shown Annie Potts my stuff.

She was in King of the Gypsies with Susan Sarandon, who was in Film '72 with Kevin Bacon.

if I were Kevin Bacon, I'd be paranoid as hell. All those people I've never met trying to figure out how close they are to me.

Hahahahahahaha

okay. my mom and my sister met Josh Lucas who was in True Blue with Dylan Baker who was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin bacon!

Got another... lol it's a stretch as well

I went to the same high school as Lloyd Carr, previous coach of the Michigan Wolverines.

He was in the 2000 FedEx Orange Bowl with Brad Nessler.

Brad Nessler was in The Sixth Man with Keith Gibbs.

Keith Gibbs was in The Air Up There with Kevin Bacon.


And another...

One of my junior high/high school friends is related to Brooke Elliot, who stars in Drop Dead Diva (a really good show btw), with Elliot Gould who was in The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon.

No, I have no idea why I put that down....Mrs. Winterbourne

Season 7, Episode 25:
Horror Movies.

I tried it with Michael Keaton (I was his mother's geriatric counselor, lovely lady), but he & Kevin Bacon just appeared on a gazillion talk shows, but not together.

I think MC quoted the wrong thing in his post. Though he quoted your post, I'm pretty sure (evidenced by his Mrs. Winterborne comment) he meant to quote LeslieAnne.

Tim Topper was the choreographer for our drama productions when i was in high school...He was an extra in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" with Burt Reynolds....Burt and Demi in "Striptease"....Demi and Kevin in "A Few Good Men"

So I guess that is 4 degrees?

I met Sean Penn at a dinner party when he was filming "Milk" here in the City. Mr. Penn was in "Mystic River" with Mr. Bacon so that would be one degree of separation.

You're right. Sorry honeychile -- not sure how I did that or why I didn't notice.

Michael Keaton was in The Paper with Clint Howard who was in My Dog Skip with Kevin Bacon.

Or, if you prefer, Michael Keaton was in Mr. Mom with Edie McClurg, who was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon.

;)

Thanks, MC. Mrs. Douglas (Michael Keaton's mother) was such a gracious lady - when someone gushed, "You have such a wonderful son!", she responded, "Dear, I have nine wonderful children." Michael paid for her care, and we always referred to the payment as "The BatCheck". (You probably had to be there)

I'm pretty sure that the game was based on an interview in which he had said he's worked with everyone in Hollywood or someone mutual (so...two degrees).

I don't know the rest of the story, but I remember hearing about it in the late nineties at work.

The Wiki on Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The article includes a reference to Bacon's charity website SixDegrees.org. It also includes this bit from Will and Grace, when Bacon appeared as himself:

Will: You — you did a movie with Val Kilmer?
Kevin: No, but Val was in Top Gun with Tom Cruise, and Tom was in A Few Good Men with me. Huh, that was a short one.

"Kevin Bacon is the Center of the Universe"

:D I remember that! They danced to "Footloose" in that episode. Very funny.

I interned for a California congressman, who obviously works with the Governator, who was in Red Heat with Laurence Fishburn, who was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon. That's four!
