Six Degrees of Leslie Dock



You may have heard of it, there is a trivia game called, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". The goal of the game is to name the fewest movies in which you can link one actor to Kevin Bacon. The concept is that almost any actor can be linked to Kevin Bacon by 6 movies or less.

For example, if the actor was Marilyn Monroe you can link them within 2 movies. Bacon co-starred with Eli Wallach in "New York, I Love You" and Wallach co-starred with Monroe in "Misfits".

Well, our own Leslie Dock is an actress and so you can play the game too by trying to link her to any actor within 6 links. If we use Marilyn Monroe, you can link her to Dock within 3 movies. Dock co-starred with Jack Frankel in "The Show", and he co-starred with Cameron Mitchell in "The Tomb". Mitchell then co-starred with Monroe in "How to Marry a Millionaire".

Go ahead and give it a try. If you need some help, there is a fun website for this called "The Oracle of Bacon" at http://oracleofbacon.org

For a sample of Dock's work, see her in this small short, "A Double Life", on YouTube:
