6 Degrees of Bela Lugosi

[RCMerchant]

You know that game with Kevin Bacon. I can do it with Bela Lugosi. Try me. 

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.

Whoopi Goldberg

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.

Whoopi Goldberg 

Whoopi...him...
1. Whoopi Goldber w/ Sam Elliot in FATAL BEAUTY
2.Sam with Ray Milland in FROGS
3.Milland w/ Hazel Court in the PREMATURE BURIAL
4.Hazel with KARLOFF in the RAVEN
5.Karloff with Lugosi in lotsa films...from the BLACK CAT (1934) up to the BODY SNATCHERS (1946)

I admit...I'm looking up a couple of movie titles on imdb and digging for a connection......but I'm not cheating!
