Now as I was able to do in the hijack thread...we're gonna play a new game. Your job is to list an actor/actress/band to Kevin Bacon in 6 moves or less. If you succeed, you list the next person to be connected to Kevin Bacon. If you cannot make this link in 6 moves or less, you DO NOT get to name the next link.

Sample::
Bee Gees to Kevin Bacon

Bee Gees did the soundtrack to SNF
SNF starred John Travolta
John Travolta starred in Who's Talking with Kirstie Alley
Kirstie Alley was in She's Having a Baby starring Kevin Bacon

The Bee Gees to Kevin Bacon in 4 moves.

Link Tom Cruise to Kevin Bacon (you have 6 moves or less, if you fail, the next person can steal)

Tom Cruise to Kevin Bacon in 2 moves

Tom Cruise and Christian Slater both in Interview w/the Vampire
Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon both in Murder in the First

next: Matthew Perry to Kevin Bacon

(unless you just wanted to go the one move of Tom Cruise and Kevin Bacon as opposing JAG attorneys in A Few Good Men)

Matthew Perry formerly did Hanes commercials with Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan now does Hanes commercials with Kevin Bacon

2 moves!


Next::
Danny DeVito to Kevin Bacon

Please tell me you are not using the Oracle of Bacon! .. I mean, who keeps track of who's in underwear commercials .. ;o)

Danny DeVito was in Twins with Maury Chaykin
Maury Chaykin was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon


next:Zsa Zsa Gabor to Kevin Bacon

using IMDB - does that count?

uh… I didn't! 8•P

unfortunately… that leaves me stumped… as I know nothing Zsa Zsa was in. doh.

No I dont, Keith...however, some cheaters here might.
=D

If it seems obvious that you are cheating, you forfeit...IMDB is ok to use

Zsa Zsa Gabor has a Bacon number of 2

Zsa Zsa Gabor was in Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, A (1987) with Laurence Fishburne
Laurence Fishburne was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon



PARIS HILTON ..... go!

I thought the only thing Zsa Zsa Gabor did was some cheesy Sci-Fi outer space B movie in the 50's .... Some kind of Queen of The Amazons or some such trash

hmm - she's been in almost 70 movies from what I can gather with the same amount again in tv movies - not a bad career for a 90 year old.

Paris Hilton???
Well considering how many link to KB, I guess even Paris Hilton is a possibility.
Remember, no cheating...IMDB only.
I'll be back soon with the answer...hopefully

hmmm - best I can come up with is Paris Hilton starred with Sean Hayes in The Cat in the Hat & Sean Hayes appeared with Kevin Bacon in Will & Grace as his obsessive stalker.....

next one... F. Murray Abraham linked to Kevin Bacon

ok… 

Paris Hilton's "One Night in Paris!" Tape with Rick Solomen
Rick Solomen was Shannen Doherty's Ex
Shannen Doherty with Christian Slater in Heathers
Christian Slater with Kevin Bacon in Murder in the 1st

Britney Spears

too late girly girl..... :-)

Kevin Bacon was on Will and Grace?? I watched maybe 2 episodes...
F. Murray Abraham, huh...ok...I was still trying to link KB to PH

dontcha hate it when your computer does that hang up freeze thing and your answer appears after someone else's? *sigh* go with Phil's!

It's ok Cat...Mine foze uptoo...think we flooded Caedes' server there for a mo!!
We'll do Brittney after we tackle F. Murray

F Murray was in Muppets with Andie McDowell
Andie McDowell was with KB in Beauty Shop

Brit was a tough one, but after a whole lot of IMDBing, I connected her in 2 moves
Brit was in Pauly Shore is Dead with Sherri Sheperd
SS was in Beauty Shop with KB

Next connection to KB=Mae West

Mae West appeared in the 1970 movie, Myra Breckenridge with Tom Sellack. Who was a guest on the Rosie O’Donnell show.
Rosie O’Donnell was a guest star on the TV series, Will and Grace, where Kevin Bacon was also a guest star.

Kevin Bacon to Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash was the narrator on the movie The Hunted which starred Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee Jones was in JFK which also starred Kevin Bacon
2 moves

Now trick question...it can be linked in 4 moves or less, and yes it CAN be linked...

Link moi (Jenn) to Kevin Bacon

I am willing to give hints...if you ask the right questions...this is to prove that pretty much anybody and everybody is linked to Kevin Bacon.

I think we may need a hint with this one.. hehe

Unless of course, your ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriend did it with Kevin bacon.. lol

...And why Bacon...of all celebs?

Why not Bacon... Kevin Hamhock sounds kind of klunky you know..:oP

Ok...for you Curt, I'll give you a clue...
The link to me begins with a Canadian rocker turned movie soundtrack balladeer. Get this clue solved and the rest should be easy.

And Ron, the game has ALWAYS been Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon...as it seems that EVERYONE in this world...at least 99% of them are somehow linked to Kevin Bacon. He's apparently much more popular than folks give him credit for.

I think Kevin Bacon was deliberately chosen because he is a bit more obscure, ie less famous so it is more of a challenge to make the links. Also probably because his name works as a pun (ie "Six degrees of seperation" and "six degrees of Kevin Bacon") But you can play this game with any celebrity.

I am NOT linked to Kevin Bacon...not evolutionarily...not genetically...nor by group association...ditto spiritually!... I have not attended a single Kevin Bacon Fan Club meeting...I have never purchased a single "Karma For Kevin" T-Shirt in any color or size, whatsoever...I have no McDonald's Triple Thick Shake Kevin Bacon Commemorative plastic cups in any of my cabinets...No Footloose DVD's, Videos, or soundtracks anywhere in my audio/video collection...You'll find absolutely no Kevin Bacon-inspired cologne or after shave amongst my toiletries...No 36" x 48" Kevin Bacon poster (not even rolled up) memorabilia of any kind...No Kevin Bacon alarm clock on my nightstand (yeah, right..complete with armpit hair as he points out the time with his greasy-a**ed hands) ...No Kevin Bacon cell phone holder...No car freshener shaped like the head of Kevin Bacon (hate to imagine what THAT would reek of)...No Kevin Bacon-themed wallpaper or screensavers on my computer...No Kevin Bacon...NOTHING!

The only links to bacon I have are Oscar Mayer strips next to my morning eggs ...thank-you-very-much!!! :)

Then you are truly a rare find.

Ok, so has anyone figured out my link to KB yet? I promise, it is a real link. Consider the clue...

OK.. lets give this a shot....
You, Jenn, are the cousin to Bryan Adams, who did the sound track to the movie, Pink Cadillac, starring Clint Eastwood.

Clint Eastwood also did a sound track to one of Kevin Bacon's movies. Mystic River.

And a side note to the the origins of this game: Would you like Links or Bacon with that?

Well Curt you got the connection right, however, Bryan Adams is not my cousin...but I did party with him after a concert that he did opening for the Police...which by the way was a kick-ass concert!!!
I dont remember if Bryan Adams did the Pink Cadillac soundtrack, but he was in a movie which connects to KB...oh, and for the record, Clint also has a connection to KB.
So until I go IMDB'ing to check your answer, I'll say you are definately on the right track!!

*Waits Patiently*
:oP

Ahhh...I see....."Jenn" - Internet Movie Database - Kevin Bacon....within a specified # of moves....

I knew you had a "powerful ally" lurking in the background!!! (LOL)

Well Curt...looking up the soundtrack listings...there are 10 songs, but none of them are done by Bryan Adams...so sadly, that link is broken there. ..dont cry yet...you are correct though, as he did have a role in the movie, as a gas station attendant...so that gets us to Clint...either make the Clint connection, or find the Bryan Adams/Pink Cadillac connection...either way, you are one step away from solving this mystery.

I have faith that you'll do it...and don't worry, I dont leave for a couple of days...but I will be busy geting everything packed and so on for the trip, that I may not be on as much.

Clint Eastewood, did however direct Mystic River, with Kevin bacon...
Proof Positive :oP

Well Curt, you are absolutely correct!!! Good work...and proof that MOST of us are somehow connected to Kevin Bacon!!

ok.... going off the top of my head here... John F Kennedy to Kevin Bacon

Besides the obvious of him being in the movie, JFK???

umm yeah

THAT could be a tough one then...you may well have stumbled upon one of the few people NOT linked...however...I intend to find the link if there is one!!!

lol

Sneaky ..... Curt. LOL

That's right.. streatch those brin muscles.. heheh

Umm.. brain muscles even. :oP

I can! JFK had happy birthhday sung to him by Marilyn Monroe, and Marilyn Monroe was in "The Misfits" with Eli Wallach, who was in "Mystic River" with Kevin Bacon.

3 moves.

Francis Bacon and Bill Gates

Very nicely played.. *bow*

you may rise. ;)

Why thank you.. I was getting a bit stiff there. :o)

OMG!!! That was an awesome linkage!!! Good job there!!!
...and Curt nyah nyah nyah nyah *blows razzberry and runs off giggling**

*Wedgies Jenn as she runs away*

OK Mum.... here we go. I'll be building off the previous Bryan Adams/Kevin Bacon connection... You see Bryan Adams did a duet with Tina Turner, "It's Only Love".
Takeing another step back...
Tina Turner Perforomed the song, "Golden Eye" written by Bono of U2.
and back again...
Bono, of U2 fame, along with Bill Gates, with his wife, Melinda, were named by Time Magazine as the 2005 Persons of the Year for their humanitarian efforts.

For a total of 5 steps, for the connection... how's that?

Great... except that Mum42 said FRANCIS Bacon.

Sorry to burst your bubble...

HEY!!!!... grrrr

Curt...I'm sure it wasa typo...or Sam just wants to be a party pooper because you beat him to it...because as far as I can tell Francis Bacon cannot be linked to KEVIN Bacon or Bill Gates...
...and as for that wedgie...when you least expect it Curt...I'll get you back!!!

Actually, yes I think Bill and Francis can be connected... I just need to find em.. hehe

The original theory behind "Six degrees of seperation" (upon which this game is based) is that anyone in the world can be linked to anyone else in six moves or less, so it SHOULD be possible...

OOps - heeheehee..... did I type that? Did I type FRANCIS Bacon (scrolls back) Why, so I did! Sorry, but it is an interesting idea....

ok
Francis Bacon said "Knowledge is Power".
I rest my case.

soooo.... did you mean Farncis or Kevin Bacon? hehe

Because, It is somewhat possible to make the link. You see, Francis Bacon can be linked to Queen Elizabeth I. and Bill Gates can be linked to Queen Elizabeth II, as he was knighted by her. It then falls to finding a plausable bridge between the two queens. Though Queen Elizabeth I was the queen of Scotts, that monarchy pretty much ruled side by side with the English monachy, until the joining of the Crowns, wich leads to todays Monarchy, and the current Queen Elizabeth II. So, in a round about way, and quite possibly, way more than 6 degrees of seperation, these two people are linked. :o)

SO, if you are willing at accept that tenuous link of the Monarchy's, all that remains is to do the final linkage back to Francis Bacon...

Francis Bacon was the youngest son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper, by his second wife, a daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke, whose sister married William Cecil, Lord Burghley, the great minister of Queen Elizabeth.

Hats off to you!

But I was referring, in resting my case, to the link of 'knowledge'. Francis Bacon said that knowledge is power, and Bill Gates helped spearhead the information (knowledge)revolution, so I guess that's one link - though not through a person. I like the monarchy angle, but I am sure it can be done in less links. I shall try...

Kevin Bacon to Charo

What? No one wanna tackle this one? OK... Here's the answer...

1) Charo appeared in the late TV series Fantasy Island with Ricardo Montalban
2) Ricardo Mantalban played Khan in the Wrath of Khan, in which Kirstie Alley played Lt. Savik.
3) Kirstie Alley also shared the screen with Elisabeth Shue in the Woody Allen film, Deconstructing Harry.
And...
4) Elisabeth Shue played the “Love Interest” to Kevin Bacon in Hollow Man.

Now, someone else can come up with one. :oP

Kevin Bacon to Katherine Hepburn. Go for it.

Cary Grant was in Bringing Up Baby with Katherine Hepburn, who was in Love Affair with Annette Benning, who was in American Beauty with Warren Beatty who was in Bullworth with Oliver Platt who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.
This one has been done before!

David Duchovny to Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Should be easy this one, but it always is ... on the other side of the posting. :oP

Now that's just too easy. Both were in David Attenborough's "Chaplin".

Next link - Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dr. Dolittle..!

Well ... easy for you maybe. :oP

I was following the line ... David Duchovny appeared in "Kalifornia" with Brad Pitt ... Brad Pitt was in "Meet Joe Black" with Sir Anthony Hopkins. Now then ... yours ...

Holy moly ... *starts googling like he has never googled before* ... *looks up to check* ... yes, she did say Dr. Dolittle ... *goes back to googling*
