A great site to check for movies actors/actresses have been in 
together is the Internet Movie database (http://us.imdb.com or the UK 
version, http://uk.imdb.com).  I checked out Kevin Bacon and Whoopi 
Goldberg, they were both in some movie called "Destination Anywhere" 
which I had never heard of.

Hmm...this may be a bit of a stretch:
My uncle the extra in "Hoosiers" to Barbara Hershey (same movie, but 
I don't think he actually met her).  Barbara Hershey to Noah Wyle 
in "Swing Kids".  Noah Wyle to Kevin Bacon in "A Few Good Men."  So 
that's 4 to Kevin Bacon...and only 3 to Noah Wyle!
