Cool Google's Bacon Number

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been posted here before but if you type in "bacon number" and your favorite actor into Google, it'll return that actor's Bacon Number -- how many degrees they are from Kevin Bacon.

Just try to find someone who has a Bacon Number higher than 3...

It's amazing how many people have a bacon number of 2 when you wouldn't expect it. Errol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock to name two I just tried.

'bacon number Hatcher Flaschen' brings back no bacon number.

HE BROKE THE GOOGLES!

But the Oracle of Bacon website gives him a BN of 2.

Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, and Ronald Reagan are also all 2.

Though the Reagan one is kind of cheating:


Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford appeared in Greatest Presidents of the United States.
Gerald Ford and Kevin Bacon appeared in Frost/Nixon.

Google has this listed for Natalie:

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis appeared in Black Swan.
Mila Kunis and Kevin Bacon appeared in G4 Presents Comic Con 2012 Live.

THAT DOESN'T F***ing COUNT!

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of movies that RR was in that give him a number of 2.

Google seems to take some liberty with their bacon numbers.

Adolf Hitler is a 2, as is Ronald Reagan.

Apparently appearing in a clip that wasn't filmed for that movie is enough to count as a BN connection.

True, looking now, he was active longer than I thought, all through the 50s, so that's a ton of actors that would have still been floating around by the time Bacon came around....and he had a little comeback in 1964 in a movie that had a lot of big names, one of whom probably crossed paths with Bacon.

The google one cheats a little bit.

Mary Pickford's number for Google is 2 because her and Whoopi Goldberg were both in a documentary about Pickford.

Oracle has Pickford's number at 3, which is much more legit.

Harpo Marx is a 3. Even D.W. Griffith is a 3.

Buster Keaton is a 2. Eli Wallach narrated a documentary in 2004 which included clips from Buster Keaton.

To repeat what others have said: THAT DOES NOT COUNT!

It's kind of interesting how even the silent era actors are only 2 or 3 away. I guess the rest of the world realized this phenomenon (which I'm sure applies to hundreds of actors) 15 years ago, I've just never played around with one of these things.
