Six Degrees of Separation- Rin Tin Tin (Entry 7 of 11)





Today, we check out how many degrees of separation actor Kevin Bacon is from a golden star of the silent film era Rin Tin Tin, who is pictured above. This is the first time we have linked the star of "Footloose" and "A Few Good Men" to a dog!

Rin Tin Tin was in "The Show of Shows" with Ann Sothern in 1929. She was in "Crazy Mama" with Cloris Leachman in 1975 and she was "New York, I Love You" with Bacon in 2008.

Therefore, Rin Tin Tin is three degrees removed from Bacon.

During the research of this piece, we learned there is a modern-day Rin Tin Tin dog (www.rintintin.com) who does things like visit school children in Tulsa!
