Remember, the object of the game is to define a path to Kevin Bacon from star to star in six steps, so the names below are possible links, not completed paths.

6. Kane Hodder – Plays Jason Voorhees in the “Friday the 13th” franchise. Bacon played yet another horny teenager, killed not by Jason, but by his mother.

5. Sean Penn – Sean’s brother Chris appeared with Bacon in “Footloose,” so technically an easy path through many of Penn’s famous films is possible.

4. Denise Richards – Richards’ role in “Wild Things” seems to be the most easily exploitable.

3. Clint Howard – Clint only had a small role in “My Dog Skip,” but using Clint provides a pivotal two-step, jumping to Clint’s better-known brother Ron.

2. John Belushi – Bacon’s first role ever was in “Animal House” as the militant Omega Chip Diller.

1. Oliver Stone – Stone’s “JFK” is the central nexus star power, but the object is to keep the steps coming.
