Was just playing along.

Was just about to ask what else they have been in. MFM has mentioned being part of many a production. He is Immortal after all.

I go with The Oracle of Bacon

Since Clint Eastwood has a Bacon number of 2, one could say that Mitt Romney has a Bacon Number of 3

My own "acting" career (as a little kid) lasted about a week, so I don't suppose that counts.

Through President Clinton or SoS Clinton I am at 5 through the former CEO of the comoany I worked for, lent the First Lady the company townhouse and played golf with the President a few times.

more questionable -

Through Sharon Stone, and this is a vague memory, 5 or 6. My fathers third wife's parents sold their home to Sharon Stone's parents who was in He Said, She Said with Kevin Bacon. Can't remember the exact details and the marriage was short, she passed away 5 months after the marriage so I only heard the story once.

My mother knew Charles de Gaulle, and de Gaulle's Bacon number is 3.

Actually, my Bacon number is 3. I was interviewed as part of a panel by the now-retired Chicago newsman Warner Saunders after the death of Cardinal Bernardin (Archbishop of Chicago, died 1996).

Warner Saunders was in Ali with Christian Stolte

Christian Stolte was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon
