I am the self-confessed "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" queen. What is this, some of you may ask? Here's the url of the Wikipedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon
The idea is that some guys got this idea that you could link anyone in Hollywood, past or present to Kevin Bacon in 6 moves or less. ie. To link Michelle Pfeiffer to Kevin Bacon, you can go as follows:
Michelle Pfeiffer was in Wolf with Jack Nicolson
Jack Nicolson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon
Only 2 moves. That constitutes a "Bacon Number" of 2. That's a pretty easy one.
I am the queen. I have been challenged by everyone and have yet to be stumped. Some of the hardest ones have been Clark Gable, Chris Rock and Gerard Depardieu but I have not been challenged successfully yet. And I have never yet used any external source to find my answers. Just my sadly pathetic mind that retains useless knowledge about celebrities.
So bring it on! Challenge me! I could use a real brainer.

Stuart Townsend was in A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Sean Connery who was in Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones. She was in Chicago with Renee Zellweger who was in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. 5 moves.
Nice try tho. I couldn't think of a shorter route there.
Hey, just looked it up on the internet after I did this one and apparently Stuart Townsend was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon. So I could have done it in one move if I knew that movie. Dammit.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in Bend It Like Beckham with Keira Knightley who was in Pirates of the Caribbean with Orlando Bloom. He was in Troy with Brad Pitt who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.
4 moves. But that's not good enuf. I'm sure I could do it quicker.
I don't think I can stump you but I'm interested in seeing this play out. Reb Brown
Edgy stumped me with this one: Errol Flynn.
But not to be outdone.
Errol Flynn was in the Private Life (or is it Lives) of Elizabeth and Essex with Bette Davis who was in All About Eve with Marilyn Monroe. She was in Some Like It Hot with Tony Curtis who is the father of Jamie Lee Curtis. She was in Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell who was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.
Wow, that was close! 6 moves. But I did it! I'm still the queen!
Reb Brown was in Death of A Soldier with James Coburn who was in Payback with Mel Gibson. Mel was in Conspiracy Theory with Julia Roberts who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.
FTW!
