Ever heard the expression “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”?  It’s a game of personal connections. Based on a combination of ideas, the goal is to link any actor to Kevin Bacon through no more than six connections to any other actor if they have appeared in a movie or commercial together.

It was created by college kids who came up with the concept while watching Bacon’s movie Footloose.   In September of 2012, Google made it possible to search for any given actor's 'Bacon Number' through their search engine.

 

Well, I’m proud to say I now have my connection to Kevin Bacon!  It comes  by way of friend and former co-worker Kim Holcomb.

Kim and I worked together back in the 90's at KNDO early in her career.  She's been a shooting star ever since!

Kim is an awesome TV talent who now works for Evening Magazine on King 5 TV in Seattle.  She has a great job, that among other things, allows her to fly about the country and interview movie stars and celebrities.  Including Kevin Bacon.   Kim’s the Best! Now she’s Best plus one!

How about you?  Any degrees of connection to Kevin Bacon?  Or Kim Holcomb?
