Hi Gang!

I found this site to be pretty cool.

Oracle of Bacon

I did a search of the HTF and did not find
that anyone had previously posted about it.

It allows you to see how many movies away
actors are from Kevin Bacon.

I was happy to note that I was rated a 2!

I am curious to see if anyone else here
is rated 2 or better.

I could not get further than two no matter what I do. I would name the most random, furthest actor I could think of and it would only be 2 steps away!

And my number is infinity...phooey.

Try this one...it's an 8:

William Rufus Shafter



Look how far back they had to reach to get it:

William Rufus Shafter was in Surrender of General Toral (1898) with Joseph (IV) Wheeler
Joseph (IV) Wheeler was in General Wheeler and Secretary of War Alger at Camp Wikoff (1898) with Russell Alexander Alger
Russell Alexander Alger was in President McKinley's Inspection of Camp Wikoff (1898) with William (I) McKinley
William (I) McKinley was in President McKinley Taking the Oath (1901) with Marcus Hanna
Marcus Hanna was in Opening of the Pan-American Exposition Showing Vice President Roosevelt Leading the Procession (1901) with Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was in Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation (1917) with Walter McGrail
Walter McGrail was in Dick Tracy vs. Crime Inc. (1941) with Wally Rose
Wally Rose was in Murder in the First (1995) with Kevin Bacon

(No, I didn't get this on my own...I found it a couple of years ago while doing some research. At that time, 8 was the highest known level...probably still is. I don't think this is the ONLY 8, but it's the only one I remember.)

Found two of the 12% who can't be linked to Bacon.

Laura Bridge (Sally) and Scott Bremner (EB) of HBO's 1989 Encyclopedia Brown series have zero connection to Bacon. Now thats getting pretty obscure, but it can be done. I will admit that surprisingly the person who played Bugs Meany is only 2 away.

I think they screw around with the logic a bit, and the facts:



Same thing with Wayne Laryea who stared in the late 60's show The Buggaloos with Caroline Ellis who has a 3 rating, it didn't make the connection.

HA! ....damn I need a life...:frowning:
