    The name also became the basis for a play of the same name, “Six Degrees of Separation,” by John Guare, and later a movie that starred Will Smith, Donald Sutherland, Ian McKellan, and Stockard Channing, who originated her role on Broadway and was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her film performance.  Both explore the strange interconnectedness that we have with others and often encounter to our surprise.

    Six degrees of separation also became the basis of a trivia game called “Six Degree of Kevin Bacon,” in which players try link in no more than six steps actors and actress through the roles they have played to roles played by Kevin Bacon.
