8. Kyra Sedgwick & Kevin Bacon
Have you ever heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? It was actually invented by some college kids in western Pennsylvania, but if you give this game a try, it will always work! Basically, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon helps you name a person (a celebrity, yourself, etc.) and then a person that you know, and then a person that that person knows, until you go through six people. And that will land you at Kevin Bacon, making the original person just six people away from knowing Kevin Bacon! Well, for kicks, Kevin and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick decided to give this game a try with each other, and it turned out that the husband and wife are related….like, blood related. Ew! Turns out that both Kevin and Kyra had relatives who were related to each other some 300 years ago, back when the abolitionists were in full force and the Declaration of Independence was being signed.
