The Kevin Bacon Game - Tournament Level

The Kevin Bacon Game: can you get to Kevin Bacon, who has been in so many movies, in six steps or less? Because one of us is over 60, we play Tournament Level: five or less, no matter who or when.

Out on a Limb with Audrey Hepburn

First of all (see last post), we're four steps from Alistair Sim.

For years, watching the Alistair Sim version of Scrooge, we've sworn the sweet, silent -- and uncredited -- little maid who lets him in to see his nephew is Audrey Hepburn.

Finally we think we've got a reasonable argument:  Audrey Hepburn has a very small speaking role in  Laughter in Paradise, a film that includes Alistair Sim, George Cole, Eleanor Summerfield, and possibly two others, who all appear in Scrooge.  It's the same actor's pool.

That's certainly Hepburn, and that makes it five steps to Eliza Doolittle.  

Another way:  Don Taylor, directed by Billy Wilder, who directed Audrey Hepburn.  Easier, but not so much fun!
