My Loose Connection with Kevin Bacon - The Game

Let's see here who has the fewest degrees to Kevin Bacon. It has to be through someone you personally know. Someone who knows your name. Not someone you saw in a bar once.

I'll start:
I'm a friend of Henry Kaiser, a minor actor.
Henry has been in several of the Mel Brooks movies, and is a good friend of Mel's.
Mel has a Bacon Number of 2.
So that gives me a Bacon Number of 3.

I lost my footing once walking around the car. Kevin Bacon was also in a movie once called "Footloose". I assert that this means we are connected. Bacon number of Fitty-three gazillion.

[JackDidley]

I eat bacon. Does that count ?

[GH85Carrera]

I can't possible care any less about my connection to any famous person. BFD.

I have met a few real heros in my life. One Medal of Honor winner and General Tom Stafford.

My cousin's wife's father is/was married to Meryl Streep who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon.

3-4 steps to Kevin Bacon fwiw. Several paths.

I have multiple and assorted links to a few significant people in our society: Starbucks, Christies, Borders, HighRanger, Tippi Hedren, GE, shadowgov, and probably more if it was dug into. Maybe I even talked with Gates or Seinfeld or Dempsy or Van Winklen or other aficionados here on PPOT.
Who knows? It all don't mean squat at the end of the day. Life is short anyways.

Rubbing elbows with rich and famous is cool, but it don't put a dime in my pocket.
That is on me.
And whatever the public image, the upper crust all snore and fart same as the next guy in line ("the king and the pawn return to the same box at the end of the game"), and they all have worked upwards to get get where they are now.

I worked with him on Flatliners, River Wild and Hollow Man. Nice guy.

[URY914]

My wife says that I looked like him when I was in high school.

[Bill Douglas]

As a school kid I had a holiday job working in a Bacon factory. That gives me 33 degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon who at some time had come from the Bacon factory.

[john70t]

^33 degrees ain't cooking or freezing nothing. Not in Fahrenheit anyways.
This here is 'murica.

[jhynesrockmtn]

I worked with his sister Kira back in the early 2000's, great person, very bright and dedicated person making her own way in the world.

[Rick Lee]

This is easy. I've met Mike Stern at many of his concerts, and Mike's sister is Kevin's wife.

[Paul_Heery]

He lives near me. I have run into him at a local ice cream stand. Does that count?

[sammyg2]

I watched animal house about a go-zillion times and saw tremors at least 4 times.

[ckelly78z]

I am currently humming the "footloose" tune in my head, and I just watched "Apollo 13" last night.

[tabs]

Do we care?

[AFC-911]

I worked with Kirstie Alley on her reality show. She has a KB # of 2.

I'm also friends with Jack Wagner's long lost daughter. He should have a KB # of 3 since he almost married Heather Locklear, who is a KB2.

Wouldn't that give you a Bacon number of 4?

If I'm doing the math right, I have a Bacon number of 5 through my cousin's husband's exwife Rosanna Arquette who has a Bacon number of 2.

Maybe less through my college friend Mike Bell, an assistant director in LA, who I haven't seen in many years.
