       You've almost got it Dottie but you don't wanna use the same movies as the previous person either.  The object (as I understand it) is to surprise the next reader with the references between people.   
       
       That's what made Lady Luthi's volley so great, she bridged an old guy with a younger woman that some people might not have seen the connection.
       
       You have played Steve Martin
       
       I will volley with Ellen Greene a/k/a Audrey from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.
       
       Now it's challenging for the next person.  Get it? 
       
       Creative links bewteen celebs not "who was in what movie". 
       The only other rule is you can't repeat celebs from earlier in the thread.

    Btw DJ, didn't you mean a younger guy with an older woman? The reason I ask is because Bonnie Hunt is older then Tom Welling. But I'm sure she'd appreciate being called a younger woman.

          It's kinda boring just going "oh, this person was in a movie with this person" over and over again. If that's the best I can do, just think of another actor who was in something with that person, then I pass. I look for slightly more creative ways to make connections.
          
          You DID say that the point was to find surprising connections, after all, and it's not really surprising that any two actors were in a movie together, is it?
          
          Much more surprising that two such different people (Beyonce and Lz Taylor) have ANYTHING in common, even it if just that they played characters of the same name.
          
          Jenny
          
          P.S. The traditional way of playing X degrees of separation is to say "this person and that person, 3 steps" and then people actually have to THINK and RESEARCH to solve the puzzle, which is what makes it fun. But you started the thread so you get to make the rules. I will contribute whenever I think of a connection that's surprising.
