Hey all, let's try to play a game. I am sure you are all familiar with the Six Degrees game where you try to connect two people in six steps. I would like to try it Marilyn Monroe.
To start...
Walter Matthau
Okay, I can do it in 2.
Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot with Jack Lemmon.
Jack Lemmon in The Odd Couple with Walter Matthau.
Try her with Burt Reynolds.
In some like it hot with Lemmon
Lemmon with J. Fonda in China Syndrome
Fonda with Voigt in Coming Home
Voigt with Reynolds in Deliverance
Here's one. Audrey Hepburn to Victoria Abril.
Audrey Hepburn in Always with Keith David
KD in Hollywood Homicide with Harrison Ford
HF (in but uncredited) in Jimmy Hollywood with Victoria Abril
Wow! I'm impressed. I just assumed that somebody would have to track Abril through Don't Tempt Me via Penelope Cruz.
Thanks,
How about Eddie Albert (Just passed away last week)to Meg Ryan?
Took me a little while, and I'm certain there's a shorter route, but here goes:
Albert and Steiger in Oaklahoma
Steiger and Poiter in In the Heat of the Night
Poitier and Dan Akroyd in Sneakers
Ackroyd and Hanks in Dragnet
Hanks and Ryan, well, they don't make romance movies without Hanks and Ryan anymore.
How about Donna Reed to Rosie O'Donnel?
Donna Reed was in It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart
Stewart in Airport '77 with Jack Lemmon
Lemmon in Tuesdays with Morrie with Hank Azaria
Azaria in Now and Then with Rosie O'Donnell
How about Andie MacDowell and Elvis?
I figure them out after I give the names, so this is what I found.
Albert in The Longest Yard with Bernadette Peters
Peters in Anastasia with Meg Ryan.
Okay, the only Elvis movie I can remember is Clambake, with Bill Bixby. I don't know any Bill Bixby movies.
Wait a minute. He was with Dean Jones in Jailhouse Rock. Jones was with Stephanie Powers in Herbie Rides Again.
Okay, I don't remember the name of the movie, but there was one with Racquel Welch. I'm cheating I know, but it's all I can do. I don't really know my Elvis movies.
Welch was with Michael York in 3 Muskateers..... Okay, I'm stumped again.
The same movie with Welch had Teri Garr in it. She was in Tootsie with Hoffman. Hoffman was in...
Okay, I'm really going to cheat now. Elvis and Bixby together in Clam Bake. Bixby and the old Martian guy in My Favorite Martian. The old Martian guy much older in The Stand with Rob Lowe. Lowe with Spader in Bad Influence. Spader with MacDowell in Sex Lies & Videotape.
But one of those is a TV show, and another was a short series, so I don't know if they count.
and MacDowell in St. Elmo's Fire.
Okay. Forget Spader. Lowe and MacDowell were in St. Elmo's Fire.
Okay, after you show me up on that one try Mary Steenburgen and Errol Flynn (I'm sure I'm butchering these spellings).
Okay here goes...
Elvis was in Change of Habit with Mary Tyler Moore
Mary Tyler Moore was in Ordinary People with Timothy Hutton
Timothy Hutton in Beautiful Girls with Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie O'Donnell in Riding the Bus with My Sister with Andie MacDowell
BTW I am not this smart. I do cheat on some like the Elvis movie. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Errol Flynn in The Sun Also Rises with Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner in The Bible with Richard Harris
Richard Harris in Gladiator with Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix in Parenthood with Mary Steenburgen
Needed help with the Errol Flynn movie on this one.
Okay do Cary Grant and Traylor Howard.
Okay, well I have to cheat with Traylor Howard, because I don't even know who he is. Netflix only has one of his movies, so I'll work with that.
So Traylor Howard was with Ben Stein in Son of the Mask.
Stein was with Charlie Sheen in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Sheen was with David Strathairn in Eight Men Out
Strathairn with Sidney Poitier in Sneakers
Poitier with Kate Hepburn in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
Hepburn with Grant in Philadelphia Story.
Not even going to try to outdo you with Flynn and Steenbergen.
Okay, how about Ava Gardner to Jamie Kennedy?
Traylor is a woman. She was in the show 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place.
Okay here goes,
Ava Gardner in The Bible with Peter O'Toole
Peter O'Toole in Phantoms with Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck in Boiler Run with Jamie Kennedy
Try Mark Wahlberg and Mark Hamill.
Wahlberg and Hoffman in I Heart Huckabees
Hoffman and Redford in All the President's Men
Redford and Kingsley in Sneakers (use this one a lot)
Kingsley and Hamil in Slipstream
How about Jennifer Garner and Cicily Tyson?
Jennifer Garner in Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck in School Ties with Chris O'Donnell
Chris O'Donnell in Fried Green Tomatoes with Cicily Tyson
How about Tom Sizemore and Lynda Carter?
Sizemore and Ben Afflick in Pearl Harbor
Affleck and Carter in Daddy.
Charles Boyer and Mandy Moore
Charles Boyer in The April Fools with Jack Lemmon
Lemmon with Grumpier Old Men with Daryl Hannah
Hannah in A Walk to Remember with Mandy Moore.
That was hard!
Try Kevin Pollak and James Dean.
