Prince & the 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

If you know the game, can anyone tell us how Prince is related to Kevin Bacon?

(They say you can usually do this in less than 7 people.)

The Kevin Bacon game is about movie connections. Here's one way (maybe not the best, but still...):

Prince - Kristin Scott Thomas (Under the Cherry Moon)

Kristin Scott Thomas - Robert Redford (The Horse Whisperer)

Robert Redford - Brad Pitt (Spy Game)

Brad Pitt - Kevin Bacon (Sleepers)

Question: why is this game always played with Kevin Bacon as a factor? What's so special about him?

(2) Mattie Shaw has never met Bernard Manning, the racist comedian

(3) Bernard Manning was on TV at roughly the same time as Orville the Duck (seen here with friend)


(Orville the Duck with friend)

(4) Orville the Duck has no connection to Kathy Bates.

You could have done it in four. Orville the Duck played against Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Didn't you catch his fancy moves?

I always assumed it was just because of his name. "Kevin Bacon" and "separation" sound vaguely similar and have the same number of syllables.

so 6 degrees of separation becomes 6 degrees of kevin bacon
