  • Friends Stars

    From Mike Dippel@21:4/176 to All on Wed Nov 8 08:08:02 2023
    The recent passing of Matthew Perry, notable for his role as "Chandler Bing" on the
    sitcom Friends, has left many of us reminiscing about the time we "spent" with the cast
    of the show over the years. Per wikitree.com, I am:

    19 degrees from Matthew Perry
    20 degrees from Jennifer Aniston
    17 degrees from Courteney Cox
    21 degrees from Sarah Mountbatten-Windsor
    22 degrees from Elliott Gould
    36 degrees from Lisa Kudrow
    20 degrees from Matt LeBlanc
    21 degrees from Isabella Rossellini
    29 degrees from David Schwimmer
    26 degrees from Marlo Thomas
    20 degrees from Robin Williams
    23 degrees from Bruce Willis

    It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
    some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians physicians, detectives, actors,
    comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are. WikiTree.com
    helps me gather this information with their weekly newsletters.

    If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me
    some basic information by going to: https://www.hobbyline.com/genealogy_web_design.htm and click on the 'Request Form'
    link.

    I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.

    Although you didn't finish your thought, I believe you want to know how I am related to
    Kevin Bacon? I am 18 degrees of separation form him on my mother's side of the
    family.

    We are actually all related to him in some way. That's the beauty of ancestry research.
    We find our connections to anyone, anywhere.

    I think I'm 3 degrees? I was in a movie where one of the camera dudes was
    in another movie with an actor that was in another movie with Kevin
    Bacon.

    I guess I also have a bacon score of 3.

    I've met Steve Hackett (former Genesis guitarist) a couple of times. He obviously knows Phil Collins who was in Balto with Kevin Bacon. Well, their voices were anyway :)

    Not sure I'm going to get any closer than that.
