Title: 6 Degrees of Bela Lugosi
Post by: RCMerchant on October 02, 2008, 02:49:46 PM
You know that game with Kevin Bacon. I can do it with Bela Lugosi. Try me.  :tongueout:

Ok...example: Johnny Depp. Teen Idol...this is too easy....with Vincent Price in EDWARD SCISSORHANDS
2. w/ Lugosi (as the voice of the Invisable Man) in ABBOT and COSTELLO.meet FRANKENSTIEN. Or,If you like...Price with Karloff in the TOWER of LONDON...which was also directed by Roland V Lee who also directed Karloff and Lugosi in the SON of FARNKENSTEIN.

A tougher Example: John Holmes....yeah Johnny Wadd himself...the porno star.
1.Holmes / Marilyn Chambers in INSATIABLE.
2.Marilyn w/Barbra Striesand in the OWL and the p***yCAT.
3. Barb w/ Walter Mattau in HELLO DOLLY!
4.Walt w/ Lon Chaney Jr. in the INDIAN FIGHTER
5.Lon with Bela in the WOLFMAN...to name just one of many.

Granted...this game could apply to most ANY prolific actor...I just applied to Lugosi because I'm vain.   :lookingup:

There's a website that can connect the dots for any two actors. The link between Whoopi and Bela is surprisingly short.

But having a computer database do it kind of takes all the fun out of it, so I won't post the link. I'd rather see how RCMerchant does.

OK, here's two computer solutions to Whoopi Goldberg-Bela Lugosi:

This is really cheap, as the first one seems to be a Hollywood insider movie with millions of cameos.
1. Whoopi Goldberg was in "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" (1998) with Billy Barty.
2. Billy Barty was in "Gift of Gab (1934)" with Bela Lugosi.

And another solution:

Again, this first one seems to involve cameos by both parties.
1. Whoopi Goldberg was in "Beverly Hills Brats" (1989) with Helen Brown.
2. Helen Brown was in "The Invisible Ray" (1936) with Bela Lugosi.

Frankly, I like RC's solutions better. They seem more legitimate. They don't count cameos, am I correct?

You could have also went this route perhaps:

The Rock "Dwayne Johnson" battled Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 18
Hulk Hogan has wrestled with and teamed with George "The Animal" Steele
Steele portrayed Tor Johnson in ED WOOD
Johnson starred with Lugosi in BRIDE OF THE MONSTER

But definite kudos to you RC for making an even more direct link!
