Printablehales said: DesireeNevermind said: actually that's not entirely correct...wasn't designed to be played in connection to movies even though it is mostly played that way. The six degrees premise comes from the Will Smith film "Six Degrees of Separation" in which the main character played by Will and based on a real con artist passing himself off as Sidney Poitier's son, tells his victims how all persons are separated by six degrees, i.e. six other people. The game as we know it originally was based on actor Kevin Beacon who has worked so much in Hollywood that he can be separated from other performers (which included musicians) by six degrees.  It has evolved to where anybody can the starting point, you just have to have six other associations to that person.But the Kevin Bacon game is strictly movie role related...which makes it far more challenging and fun. Anyone can say...Prince brushed up against someone in a hallway...blah, blah, blah. How many can connect Pince in 6 degrees striclty through movie roles. Use the Clarence Williams the III and Kristen Scott Thomas connections and it becomes much easier. Sure but given that Prince is more musician and hardly and actor, it is easier to keep the game alive through movies and music. Best to include any artistic connections to the little man. I promise you will run out of people if you just stick to movies. Baby is national but not that national. 
Hey...how about Tom Hanks? Oh and Jennifer Lopez.  | |

btw_thats the beauty of this game...even just with Kevin Bacon, Prince and movies. The world...and the world of movies is so small you can make the connections. There are 3 actors/actresses in Prince movies that make it fairly easy to connect him to anyone in movies...well 6 if you count Apollonia, Sheila E and Morris Day (Ford Fairlane and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) | |

He's the man! Thats why I love the game. You can take a handful of actors/actresses and conect them. The real connect is not the actors/actresses that have been in movies with Prince...but the movies THEY have been in with others. Example. Kristen Scott Thomas was in the Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford. Imagine the 1,000s that then connects Prince to. Steven Berkoff was in "Rambo II" with Stallone, "Beverly Hills Cop" with Eddie Murphy, "Octopussy" with Roger Moore and "A Clockwork Orange" with Alex DeLarge. The possiblities are endless | |

Sean Connery was in First Knight with Richard Gere 2. Richard Gere was in No Mercy with Kim Basinger 3. Kim Basinger was in Batman which featured a soundtrack by Prince (they also dated during this time) |

See previous post Good point, I was just following the movies AND music connection established earlier. Either way, you can still shave off a few steps by cutting Richard Gere entirely: 1. Sean Connery was in First Knight with Julia Ormond 2. Julia Ormond was in Sabrina with Harrison Ford 3. Harrison Ford was in Random Hearts with Kristin Scott Thomas 4. Kristin Scott Thomas was in Under The Cherry Moon with Prince |

Gene Simmons is too easy though. He was in some wack ass movie with Vanity (Never Too Young To Die?) who dated Prince. I have one for you... Bill Clinton!!!
