It is official - I am two degrees away from Kevin Bacon!

[Z-man]

Kevin Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgwick.

Kyra Sedgwick is starring in a romantic movie set in the 1970's. Some scenes from that movie involve the lead charaters playing tennis.

They filmed the tennis scenes in the Township of Wayne's "Tiger Tennis of Wayne" tennis bubble earlier today.

The same bubble in which I play every Wednesday night.

Game, set, match!

-Z-man.

You play tennis?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

So, just occupying the same space that someone who is somehow connected to Kevin Bacon did at one point in time qualifies?

You'd have to appear in the movie with Kyra Sedgwick then you'd be two degrees away.

Please post any tasteless topless photos of Kyra, so that then you can wave your golden admin sword and delete and remove said photo to save the rest of our eyes and society as a whole..........

I'm only two degrees away from being married to Liv Tyler.

Yeah really, She's been around to my house a lot. Stayed the night quite a bit. Poured her heart out telling her deepest feelings.... The list goes on.

The two degrees bit is, sure it my house but I didn't actually live here at the time, and it certainly wasn't me she came to see. But, and a really big but, if it was me she came to see I'm sure we would be happy married and kids alll over the place.

So I work on about a dozen TV shows. So does Craigster and Varmint, and FXEditor, and CDrone what does that make us? One degree? so that would make all of you two degrees. You've been promoted!

If you'd lost millions thanks to Bernie Madoff you'd be 1 degree away.

Ok - well, I flew from LA to Newark in the same plane that Dick Clark rode on -- does that count?!?

-Z-man.

My Dad had dinner with Jayne Mansfield one night.






Of course, she was on the other side of the aisle in the airplane...

my brush with fame:

Back in the mid 80's I was sitting in a bar in Mathattan Beach one Sunday watching a football game and I saw Bill Daily (Roger Healey on I dream of Jeanie) sitting by himself at a table.

I left him alone but when I was on the way to the restroom he looked up. I didn't want to be "one of those people" so I just said "I like your work, thanks" kinda low key and kept walking.
When I was done with my business I walked back and sat down, leaving him alone.
(He later told me that he thought that was cool, he hates getting bugged by fans asking for autographs and stuff).

About 15 minutes later he sat down at the bar a couple stools away, and I still didn't bother him except the glance and nod, "hey".

He started talking about the game, turns out he's a regular guy. Kind of quiet but pretty cool. (BTW before anyone starts making any of those kids of jokes, we're both straight).

We carried on a good converation over too many beers, eventually the stories drifted to show business but I still acted like it was no bid deal, just another interesting career. I thought it was a really big deal but didn't let on.

He said working on I dream of jeanie was a crack up except that Larry hagman was the biggest horse's butt he's ever met. Drunk every day and throwing tantrums like a 3 year old.
He said Hagman tried to get in a fight with him one time but he just moved to the side and hagman fell on his face and barfed.

I had to ask about Barbara Eden, all he said was that she was a sweetheart and I ever met her I'd fall in love with her in a hearbeat.

He also gave me a really good trivia question: In I dream of jeanie, he was supposed to be an air force test pilot turned astronaut but on the show he wore an army corp of engineers uniform because it was all they had in wardrobe that would fit him at the time (they didn't have any army astronauts back then).
He talked about working with Steve Allen and a bunch of other famous people.

Turns out Dailey was a musician and used to do it professionally before he got into comedy and still played bass.
Oh and he said Bob Newhart is the funniest man who ever walked the planet. He said after 5 minutes of hanging out with Newhart I'd have have beer shooting through my nose and I'd pass out because I'd be laughing so hard I wouldn't be able to breathe.
He said if newhart and Dick Van Dyke were ever in the same room they'd be so funny someone would actually die from laughing. That'd be a kick.

Wouldn't mind hanging out and killing some beers again with Dailey sometime but he's gotta be pretty old by now.

I really enjoyed his character in that show and loved Barbara Eden.

I hung out with Captain Lou in LAX once.
