So Angie, as Kristen said, you name any actor and try to get back to Kevin Bacon within six steps. For example, suppose I said Debra Winger. Debra Winger was in Terms of Endearment with John Lithgow, who was in Footloose with Kevin: two degrees.
Giovanni Ribisi. He was in Avatar with Sigourney Weaver, she was in Alien with Paul Reiser, Paul Reiser was in Diner with Kevin Bacon: three degrees.
If you know movies, you can generally get to Kevin within six degrees.
Have to appreciate the love for Kevin Bacon -- he's a hometown boy and sightings are common. Over the years, I've spotted KB at the science museum and the train station.
