Many years ago a game was formed called "Six degrees of Seperation." The Premise of this game was to connect two people by only six people. It morphed into "Six degress of Kevin Bacon" in the film buisness and has become a interesting game since.

On IMDBPro they have a "Bacon"meter which shows you how far it takes to connect a person to Kevin Bacon (who is 0 by the way). Nelson had the number of three.

Now I want to see how many different ways you could connect Nelson to other stars. If you figure out a way, send it in to be placed on this website. Here are some challenges:

Nelson to Kevin Bacon (see if you can get it to those three)
Nelson to Jeanette MacDonald without using thier movies together
Nelson to a modern star
Nelson to Clark Gable.

From Theodore, Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.

(Nelson Eddy to Jeanette MacDonald)

Nelson Eddy was in Balalaika with Frank Morgan.
Frank Morgan was in Broadway Serenade with Jeanette Macdonald

From Elaine from London, England, U.K.

(Nelson Eddy to Hayden Christiansen)

Nelson Eddy to Harry Tenbrook (Naughty Marietta)
Harry Tenbrook to Wally Rose (Dick Tracy Vs. Crime Inc)
Wally Rose to Kevin Bacon (Murder in the First)
Kevin Bacon to Andrew Ainlie (Trapped)
Andrew Ainlie to Hayden Christiansen (Shattered Glass).

To submit an answer to a challenge or to give a challenge yourself, you can email me here. Just remember to put "Nelson Eddy Six Degrees" or something simular in your subject line so I know it's not junk or spam mail.
