Here's a good question -- how many degrees are YOU away from Kevin Bacon?

I'm three degress away:

1. Me to my mother
2. My mom to Betsy Palmer, who played the mom in Friday the 13th and bought a piece of art from my mom back in the late seventies
3. Betsy Palmer to Kevin Bacon

2) Dan to his former co-worker Jamie
3) Jamie to Kevin Bacon, when she served him a latte while working at a Starbucks in Boston.

i'm at three too.

I did a stage show with Patrick Wilson, who did phantom of the opera with Minnie Driver, who was in some movie of which I forget the name with Kevin Bacon.

Four. (I confess, I cheated a bit by using this site (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/) to connect Katie Holmes and Kevin Bacon).

1) Me to my aunt from Toledo, Ohio.
2) My aunt to Katie Holmes who babysat my cousins one summer.
3) Katie Holmes to Benjamin Bratt in Abandon (2002)
4) Benjamin Bratt to The Woodsman (2004) which starred - Kevin Bacon!

Frighteningly, this also makes me only 3 degrees away from Tom Cruise.

one.
I met Kevin Bacon & his wife Kyra Sedgwick at the Millerton Movie House. Both were very warm and friendly. At the same location, I've also met Liam Neeson & Nathasha Richardson, and Meryl Streep.

Connecticut & Upstate NY are a good place to spot celebrities, not nearly as good as NYC or Provincetown though.

I was going to say "four, thanks to YOU" but then I saw the website and checked via Jewel Kiltcher (my father helped build her grandfather's rustic homestead in Alaska back in the 50's). I got to meet her when she was 14 and...well...I wasn't too impressed.

Jewel Kilcher was in Ride with the Devil (1999/I) with Tom Guiry
Tom Guiry was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon

Three! hurrah.

I could also have gone Chris Rankin...which also would have been three via Gary Oldman. *shrug*

Other option, still at four:

I have a sorority sister named [livejournal.com profile] superflippy, who went to Sewanee with a guy named Anson Mount, who was on Sex and the City starring Jessica Parker, who was in Footloose with Kevin Bacon. So...four degrees.

And I'm trying to figure out a path from my old college classmate John Swasey, who was in Ray. Hmm.
