Let's Play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
posted by rudely_murraySTAFFMOD on April 14, 2017 at 12:13 AM
'Six Degrees of...' games were always good fun on the IMDb boards and those on certain actors' boards ran for many years. So let's try and start the tradition up again, and the obvious place to kick it off is on the board of the actor with whom the whole thing started.
The rules are simple. Player names an actor, and the next poster has to link that actor to Kevin Bacon in as few moves as possible. Example:
Player 1 names Elliot Spiers.
Player 2 might respond:
- Elliot Spiers was in Paperhouse with Gemma Jones.
- Gemma Jones was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with Miriam Margolyes
- Miriam Margolyes was in Balto with Kevin Bacon.
...and Player 2 would then name the next actor to link to Kevin.
Feature films or TV movies only - no series'. Try not to select names which would be too easy - linking Kevin Bacon to Sean Penn or Meryl Streep is no challenge!
Okay, here goes...
First try: Caroline Langrishe

Oh, good one! She died so young (26), wayyy back in 1937, so this one is a bit of a walk...
Jean Harlow was in Wife vs. Secretary with James Stewart
James Stewart was in The Man Who Knew Too Much with Doris Day
Doris Day was in It Happened to Jane with Jack Lemmon
Jack Lemmon was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.
Let stick with the oldies... next up: Marlene Dietrich

Good one! Dietrich’s career ran on for a few decades after Harlow’s death, so this should hopefully be an easier one, let’s see…
