Do you remember the trivia game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? The premise was that any actor or actress could be linked through their roles to Kevin Bacon within six movies.I like Kevin Bacon. I've liked him since I was a teenager and saw "Footloose." (Who among us didn't develop a little crush on Ren McCormack who only wanted to dance and was so honorable that he made Ariel wait for her first kiss.) Once, I even camped at the same campground with him and his family in Montana, although I didn't see him. I just overheard the campground owners talking about it when I went to buy toothpaste in the little convenience store.
Now, I'm not an actress. I had a role in the play "Annie" that happened accidentally. But because of that role, I (and my daughters and sister and mother-in-law) now have the distinction of being only FIVE degrees from Kevin Bacon. Here's how it goes:
I was in "Annie" with Danny Tarasevich.
Danny Tarasevich was in "Sons of Provo" with Will Swenson. (By the way, if you've never seen this movie, you should. It's quite funny.)
Will Swenson was in "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" with Jeff Goldblum.
Jeff Goldbum was in "The Switch" with Jennifer Anniston.
Jennifer Anniston was in "Picture Perfect" with Kevin Bacon.
So there you have it--my dubious claim to fame.
Sorry, I'm not giving autographs. Oh, all right. If you really want one, I will.
