My "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" Number ...

Okay ... so this "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" concept has ALWAYS made me smile ...

... and while the "game" really only applies to those who are in the entertainment field, I know that there are others who feel that it SHOULD apply to all of us ... the "lay" people of the planet.

I have to admit ... I know I have a pretty good Bacon Number ... I'm a 3! :)

Here's how it works ... according to the above linked Wikipedia page:

"Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a parlour game based on the "six degrees of separation" concept, which posits that any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart. That idea eventually morphed into this parlour game wherein movie buffs challenge each other to find the shortest path between an arbitrary actor and prolific Hollywood character actor Kevin Bacon. It rests on the assumption that any individual involved in the Hollywood, California, film industry can be linked through his or her film roles to Kevin Bacon within six steps. The game requires a group of players to try to connect any such individual to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible."

So, here's how I'm linked:

0 - Kevin Bacon
1 - Tom Hanks (co-starred in "Apollo 13" with Bacon)
2 - Carla Kama AKA Carla Garrido (was in "That Thing You Do" with Tom Hanks)
3 - ME (Carla is my baby sister)

.... and ANOTHER pathway:

0 - Kevin Bacon
1 - Scott Coffey (was in "The Big Picture" with Bacon)
2 - Carla Kama/Garrido (was in "Tank Girl" with Coffey)
3 - ME! :)

So ... that was fun! ... just kinda wish I had the chance to meet some of these actors ... they are at the top of MY list! :)
