Kevin Bacon Trivia
|
- Kevin's son, Travis, currently plays in the 4-member rock-punk-funk band Idiot Box.
- Daughter, Sosie Ruth Bacon, was born March, 1992
- Inspired a game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, whereby people have to link any given actor to him by no more than six steps. For instance, to do Fred MacMurray, you could observe that MacMurray worked with Lee Marvin in The Caine Mutiny (1954), which is one step; and Marvin worked with Jane Fonda in Cat Ballou (1965), which is two steps; and Fonda worked with Jack Lemmon in The China Syndrome (1979), which is three steps; and Lemmon worked with Bacon in JFK (1991), which completes the link in four steps. Harder versions of the game exist, limiting the player to five, four or even three steps.
- His father, age 92 (in 2004), is Edmund Bacon, a famous Philadelphia City Planner. His mother was Ruth Bacon, a teacher and liberal political activist.
- He was the first choice for the Charlie Sheen part in Being John Malkovich (1999).
