First, I should set the parameters of the exercise. John Wilkes Booth can be traced to Kevin Bacon via two routes. 1.) Booth appeared in an 1863 production of MacBeth with Louisa Lane Drew. Louisa Lane Drew appeared in an 1896 production of The Rivals with her grandson Lionel Barrymore. Lionel Barrymore appeared in It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stuart in 1948. Jimmy Stuart was in 1977s Airport ’77 with Jack Lemmon. Jack Lemmon was in JFK in 1991 with Kevin Bacon. 2.) John Wilkes Booth was married to Louisa Jane Price. They had a daughter named Laura Ida Elizabeth Booth. Her niece was Ida Booth Levine (the granddaughter of Edwin), stage name Alma Booth. Ida and Laura appeared as an acrobatic duo, Levine and Booth, who juggled chairs, balanced things on their teeth, etc. etc. A young magician, Harry Houdini, appeared frequently with them as part of the Welsh Brothers Circus. So: Harry Houdini and Nita Naldi appeared in The Man from Beyond. Nita Naldi and Caroline Rankin appeared in What Price Beauty?. Caroline Rankin and Marisa Tomei appeared in The Ides of March. Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon appeared in Loverboy. This is a given. OK, now to the particulars...
