Nancy Rapoport to Kevin Bacon in Four Steps

Posted by Alan Childress
Given Nancy Rapoport’s credited role in the Enron movie, I proposed here that she be subjected to the degrees-of-Bacon analysis.  This cannot be done with your usual law professor, though I guess one could name a few other possibles (especially if relatives count, such as Elizabeth McGovern’s dad  [and she starred in She’s Having a Baby directly with Kevin Bacon]). 

My best solution for Nancy-Kevin was five links, and each actor portrayed a lawyer at least once in the chain.  She ‘saw’ my five and raised.

• My five:  Nancy to narrator Peter Coyote in her movie; Coyote (as DA) to Glenn Close (as defense attorney) in Jagged EdgeFatal AttractionDisclosure A Few Good Men.
• Her four:  start same but connect Glenn Close to John Lithgow in The World According to GarpFootloose. 

Nancy wins.  In this particular game, however, second prize is more prestigious.
