35. OK, I cheated.....

I knew Lyle Lovett when he was a young folkie in Houston:
Lyle Lovett was in Short Cuts (1993) with Andie MacDowell.
Andie MacDowell was in Beauty Shop (2005) with Kevin Bacon.

Shelley Duvall was married to a friend of mine. I met her a few times before Robert Altman discovered her (while filming Brewster McCloud in Houston):
Shelley Duvall was in Roxanne (1987) with Steve Martin (I)

And I met Ramblin' Jack Elliot on one of his rambles through Houston; he knows Bob Dylan:
Bob Dylan was in Hearts of Fire (1987) with Maury Chaykin
Maury Chaykin was in Where the Truth Lies (2005) with Kevin Bacon

If you don't want to cheat, don't click on this link: http://oracleofbacon.org/

[SharonRB]

66. Thanks for the link -- here goes (I cheated, of course)

My uncle is Dave Herman, a former big-time New York DJ
Uncle David's second wife was Andrea Besch
Andrea is BiBi Besch's sister
Bibi Besch has a Bacon number of 1 - she was in "Tremors" with Kevin Bacon

That gives me a Bacon number of 4.

Or, I can do it another way:
Uncle David was close friends with George Harrison
George Harrison was in "Shanghai Express" with Sean Penn
Sean Penn was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon

Another 4

[SharonRB]

68. I'm getting good at this

I met Bill Clinton twice this summer
Bill Clinton was in "Bamboozled" with Mos Def
Mos Def was in the Woodsman with Kevin Bacon

That give me a 3!

:woohoo:

[SharonRB]

69. And another one

My husband was best friends in high school with a guy named Ben Van Dyke who was killed in an accident after getting back from Viet Nam.

Ben's sister was Conny Van Dyke, who was in W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (1975) with Brad Dourif

Brad Dourif was in Murder in the First (1995) with Kevin Bacon

That gives me a 5 and my husband a 4.

[libnnc]

75. I cheated too--Lucie Arnaz

My SO and I were in NYC in a few years ago and saw Liza Minnelli in her one woman show "Minnelli on Minnelli" at the Palace Theater on Broadway. We were exiting the very crowded lobby when I looked to my left and saw Lucie Arnaz (she's very tall btw) about three feet away from me. Lucie Arnaz was in "Second Thoughts" (1983) with Sheldon Feldner. Sheldon Feldner was in "Murder in the First" (1995) with Kevin Bacon.

[libnnc]

76. Here's another one--Jack Weston

My mom and I were walking through the lobby of the Plaza Hotel in NYC in the mid 80s and we (literally) ran into Jack Weston who was on his way to a dentist appointment. Jack Weston was in Short Circuit 2 (1988) with David Hemblen. David Hemblen was in Where the Truth Lies (1995).

[Silver Swan]

38. I could do it several ways, but the shortest is:

My step niece once worked for Dave Letterman.
Kevin Bacon has appeared on Dave Letterman's show.

[Minnesota_Lib]

39. Back in 1979, I got stinking assed drunk with Jack Lemmon. Lemmon was in JFK with Bacon.

Got ya beat. :)

By way of explanation, I was a spectator at the 1979 Crosby Pro-Am Golf Tournament. It rained out that particular day and all the celebs were in the Pebble Beach Lounge. I ran into Lemmon in the bathroom (he was at the next urnal over LOL). He was half crocked already. We started talking and he told me about his upcoming movie release (The China Syndrome). Long story short, we ended up partying with country singer Charlie Pride all night in the upper bar. Those were two great guys. Totally unpretentious and down-to-earth.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

47. I'm so jealous.

Jack Lemmon was so fucking awesome.

[Minnesota_Lib]

52. He was literally the salt of the Earth....(Mn_Lib story time LOL)......

When I first saw Lemmon, he was sitting at a corner table drinking wine with a young fellow whom I think was his caddy. All the other celebs were hanging with each other. I remember two little girls approaching the table of Bob Hope and Phil Harris to ask for Hope’s autograph. Hope and Harris glared at them with disdain (but Hope signed the autograph anyway). I never liked Hope after seeing that. Meanwhile, Lemmon’s caddy left and he got up looking for company. Instead of joining other celebs, he approached a family of four regular folks (I think it was the same two little girls that Hope had treated so shabbily) and asked if he could join them. They were totally shocked. It was awesome.

He sat with them for about 30 minutes, chatting and laughing it up. He bought a bottle of wine to share with the parents and sodas for the kids. He seemed to really enjoy it-—and you can bet the family enjoyed it. I’ll never forget that. He was just a great guy.

It was a bit later that I ran into him in the restroom. Later that night my buddy and I went to the nearly empty upstairs bar. Lemmon saw us and invited us to join him, Charlie Pride and about 4 or 5 young “jet-set” type women who had also joined them. Jack and Charlie were toasted by this time and that was just the beginning of the night.

I tell you, you would never have known these guys were celebs. They were totally down-to-earth. At one point Jack was coming on to one of the young ladies and I interrupted, commenting on what a great actor he was as evidenced by how convincing he was as he delivered those lines. The whole table burst out laughing at him and he responded by jumping up and whacking me over the head several times with his golf cap. It was absolutely hilarious.

Every time the waiter visited us, Charlie would order a round for the entire table and tell the waiter to put it on the “Irishman’s” tab. Unfortunately, I was the Irishman (I have an Irish name) and I had like 20 bucks in my pocket. I just laughed and kept drinking. I thought he was kidding. Little did I know......

At one point, Charlie and I went downstairs to the restroom. On the trip back up we ran into George C. Scott and stopped to chat with him about his golf game. I don’t think Scott knew who Pride was as he was rather stand-offish to us (hell, I am not a country music fan so I really didn’t know much about him either until I checked a few days later). LOL

After about four hours of partying, my friend took me aside and asked me how much money I had. He told me that I probably had like a $400.00 plus bar bill from all the rounds Charlie had told the waiter I was buying. OMG!

I’m not proud of this, but we grabbed our jackets and excused ourselves, saying we were headed to the restroom. We never came back. HAHAHAHA!

The next day out on the course, a very hung-over looking Jack saw me in the crowd. He started laughing, winked at me and did a faux drunken trip-take. I took that to mean it was ok with him that I skipped out on the bar bill. At least I hoped so. LOL I later told my friends that Lemmon had just finished a spy movie in which he dies at the end. I don't know why I thought it was a spy movie. He had told me it was tentatively titled "The China Syndrome" so I guess I just assumed. At least I was right about him dying in the end. LOL.

That was one of the more memorable nights of my life. I had pictures but my ex-wife stole them out of spite when we split up. Bummer. Anyway, I will never forget Jack and Charlie. These were two really great guys who, IMO, were atypical of celebrities today.

RIP, Mr. Lemmon. You were truly one of a kind

[Chiyo-chichi]

42. I am only two degrees away from Kevin Bacon!

:P At a scholarship luncheon two years ago at the college where I formerly worked, I sat right beside Celia Weston. Celia is an alum of that college and was there to show support for the scholarship programs (she is a donor) and to meet current students. Celia is also an actress and has been in a lot of stuff. You'd probably recognize her if you saw her. I had a great conversation with her and really enjoyed meeting her. Celia was on an episode of Frasier in the mid-90s, and Kevin Bacon did a voiceover on Frasier somewhere around the same time.

See? Only two degrees! Celia Weston led me directly to Kevin Bacon! :rofl:

According to the Bacon Oracle:

Ray Roderick has a Bacon number of 2.

83. I've two vague connections.
