Let's see--I sing for FBZ whose daughter was the bride in "Crimes 
and Misdemeanors" which Woody Allen made; Allen cast Meryl Streep 
in "Manhatten" and she was in "The River Wild" with Kevin Bacon.  
That's one for FBZ, two for his daughter, three for WA, four for 
MS.  That gives me a Kevin Bacon number of 4.  Whee!  An even faster 
way is this: I worked for HS, who used to live with Lea Thompson 
when she was a ballet student here in Philly, Lea Thompson made "All 
the Right Moves" with Tom Cruise, who made "A Few Good Men" with 
Kevin Bacon.  That's one for HS, two for LT, and three for TC.  A 
Kevin Bacon number of 3 that way!  (I couldn't find any instances of 
Kevin Bacon working with Lea Thompson, so I think a 3 is as low as I 
can go.)  OTOH, since Kevin Bacon was born here in Philly (a mere 16 
days before my sister) you'd think it wouldn't be all that difficult 
for me to find SOME connection...;)

(wait--this means I have a Tom Cruise number of TWO.  Hmmm...)
