John Belushi

John and Gilda Radner 

Third Degree: John Belushi
John Belushi was an original member of the cast of Saturday Night Live.  Here he is with Jane Curtin, Dan Akroyd, Lorraine Newman, Bill Murry, and Gilda Radner in "Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger."

John Belushi partied with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams at the Marmont Hotel the night he died.  Here is Williams saluting DeNiro with an AFI lifetime achievement award.

After Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro left John Belushi, his dealer shot Belushi up that night with a speedball (cocaine and heroine,) he died a little while afterward.

Second Degree: Kevin Bacon
Here's another classic from 1978, Animal House.  Here John has a scene with second degree, Kevin Bacon.

First Degrees, Bill Clinton and Bono were in the 2002 documentary, "Elvis Lives" with Kevin Bacon. This also gets Cher, Mary J. Blige, Eric Clapton, John Corbett, and Jon Bon Jovi closer to Pope John Paul II!

Gene Wilder

Fourth Degree, Gene Wilder is seen here as Willy Wonka.
Third Degree, Gilda Radner, late wife of Gene Wilder

Second Degree: Barbara Walters

First Degrees:
Fidel Castro, also featured on the post that bears his name.

Michael Jackson is connected to JPII in the Kevin Bacon post.  

Barbara Walters interviewed scores of second-degreers.  I'm sure we'll see Ms Walters mentioned in future posts.
