Try for example Julie Andrews:
Julie Andrews was in Relative Values (2000) with Colin Firth
Colin Firth was in Where the Truth Lies (2005) with Kevin Bacon
So she has a Bacon number of 2, Firth has a Bacon number of 1.
What, I hear you ask, of more obscure stars like Carmen Miranda.
What is surprising is how small their Bacon numbers are...hers is 2 also
Carmen Miranda was in Scared Stiff (1953) with Tony Barr
Tony Barr was in Murder in the First (1995) with Kevin Bacon.
This principle is also the ridiculous idea of the Davinci Code.Though in that movie it is not Bacon but Christ who is the focus, and the link that seeks to be proved is the dubious claim of the so called Merovingian dynasty. They claim to be descended from the offspring of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, it is of course rubbish. But whimsical rubbish!
Try also to work out your own connection to The Queen or Mao. I have four degrees of separation to both.
The notion is that everyone on the planet is linked by no more than six degrees of separation. A mind blowing thought.
My own Bacon number? 2....but I think it's a different Stephen Clark!!
