I never knew google did this. If you type in any actor name followed by "bacon number" (doesn't have to be in quotes) then it will work out the number of links that connects them to Kevin Bacon.
I've tried quite a few now,, and can't seem to get any that are more than 2 links away, let alone 6 :smile:
Naively, I thought I'd stupm with Linnea Quigley, but that was 2, also. John Vernon was the link.
Haven't got one over 2 yet, either.
Update:
All 2-
Harrison Ford
Michael C. Hall
Linnea Quigley
Brion James
Got a 3 with Tor Johnson.
Dolph lundgren, Brian dennehy, Peter weller, Leonard Nimoy, Leslie Nielsen .. All 2.
The film LEMON SKY keeps cropping up... Never even heard of it.

Interesting! I never knew Google did this either.
Since I'm a perv, I thought I'd be a wise ass and try to stump this Bacon algorithm with some porn actress' names. It took four tries but I finally stumped it.
