dibsy was talking about six degrees of separation/Kevin Bacon in his LJ. So, a challenge to y'all... Name someone and I'll figure out if I can link myself to them in six degrees or less.
Doesn't have to be an actor, but someone like "Joe Smith" in Pennsylvania wouldn't work, because I have to be able to know who they are to connect myself.
I am no more than 4 degrees from Kevin Bacon. I could probably bring it down to only two or three with a little bit of effort... but I don't feel like going through the casts of Kevin Bacon's movies at the moment.
I met Adam Baldwin at a convention
Adam Baldwin was in Full Metal Jacket with Matthew Modine.
Matthew Modine was in Notting Hill with Julia Roberts.
Julia Roberts was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.

Date: 2006-03-09 06:10 pm (UTC)Gabriel Garcia Marquez' good friend Maruja Pachon de Villamizar was kidnapped by drug kingpin Pablo Escobar in 1990.
If I figure out how to get from Escobar to Ronald Reagan then I've got it because my Uncle Roddy knew Reagan.
so I've got to get from Escobar to Reagan (or Carter or Nixon) in two steps and I've got it!

Date: 2006-03-09 06:24 pm (UTC)He won a Hugo the same year as Michael Whelan. I'm going to assume they were both at the ceremony.
I'm also going to assume that Whelan has met Anne MacCaffrey since he did so many Pern covers.
My sister & brother-in-law met MacCaffrey at a World Con and got me much battered & loved copy of Dragonflight signed by her.
Or... If he has ever met Harlan Ellison,
Harlan petted
Chebutykin used to live in my basement.
