4. I AM Kevin Bacon.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to cut loose, foot loose. Might kick off my Sunday shoes, as well.

8. As a descendant of Sir Francis Bacon, of the London Bacons, I'm offended
that you think my last name is related to cured swine. Please refrain from ever using the Baconian (or scientific) Method ever again.

I bid you a good day.

6. 3
When I went to college in Norfolk VA back in the late 80's, I acted in 2 plays with another actor named Jay Ross.

Jay had a brief speaking role in "Forrest Gump". He played the anti-war protestor in D.C. who escorted Tom Hanks from the bus to the stage and urged him to speak.

Tom Hanks starred with Kevin Bacon in "Apollo 13".


Jay was a good guy. While going to school and acting whenever he could, he worked as a bartender at the restaurant my sister managed. I was hoping his cameo in "Forrest Gump" would open some more doors, but I haven't seem him do anything else in film.

10. Here goes.
I've twice met Janet Reno (1) who was Attorney General under Bill Clinton (2) of whom a fictionalized version in the movie Primary Colors was portrayed by John Travolta (3) who was in Welcome to Hollywood with Tom Arnold (4) who was in We Married Margo with Kevin Bacon.

11. One.
I know GE Smith who lead the SNL band, Kevin Bacon appeared on SNL while GE was there. I have to sit down and really think about the whole 6 degrees and figure out the most obscure connection to him! :D

21. I guess 2
I was in a screenwriting class at Santa Monica College with a beautiful blond named Emily Longsreth.
She went on to play Kevin Bacon's girlfriend in the film The Big Picture.

I've always wondered what happened to Emily. She pretty much dropped off the map.

30. I'm friends with someone who was in a movie with Karen Black
and Karen Black has been in roughly 92% of all the films ever made (rough calculation), so if she hasn't been in one with Kevin Bacon, she can only be removed by one from him. So three or four, I guess.
