My mom's best friend (who is like an aunt to me) was best friends growing up with Anne Murray. Since she's played with everyone, that's my closest connection with a lot of famous people.

My BIL dated seriously Anne Murray's guitar players daughter for a long time.

My uncle was engaged to someone who was second cousins (or something) to Elvis.

Hmmm, who else...one of my bff's brother was close friends with Sarah MacLauchlin when they went to school together.

good morning.

let's see ....

my dad went to high school & was good friends with Dennis Franz. at their 40th reunion he told my dad he was one of the only people he remembered.

my dad also grew up with John Prine. He goes to his shows and takes pictures, etc.. with him backstage.

jake was an extra in a movie directed by clint eastwood. clint eastwood put his hand on jake's shoulder and thanked him for working that day. that was cool. 

my dad spent a summer dating godie hawn.  it was mid 60's - at ocean city maryland.  dad was a beach photographer, goldie was a free spirit and did street performing on the boardwalk.

Morning

Sneaking on at work LOL - thanks a lot Sonya now I'm gonna be sucked right back in HEE HEE

I am sure I have a degree of separation given all the theater people I know but I don't really know who they know etc. My mom went to HS with Michael Bolton's ex-wife lol.

I went to high school with Sara Bareilles.

I went to middle school with a girl who was on Kids Incorporated and her little sister was Chrissie on Growing Pains.

I did gymnastics with the girl who played Evie on Out of this World.

One of my really good friends in middle school was an actress and she was in the movie It Nearly Wasn't Christmas. She didn't do a ton after that. But she probably knew a few people. The kid who played (crap I don't remember his name - sponge?) on salute your shorts came to one of her birthday parties.

I went to middle school with a kid named Aaron Metchik. Really nice guy. He was on a TV show then, not sure if he's still acting. (ooh, I just looked him up on imdb and it says he is an acting coach to zac efron. ;)

Another one of my good friends from middle school is a publicist in LA so I'm sure he knows/works with quite a few celebrities.

Oh! And one of my really cool friends has a sister and mom with a company that was at a celebrity event and they met a bunch of famous people. ;)

GM-  I was three degrees from M. Jackson, which I guess makes me 4 degrees from lots of other people.  I'm 2 degrees from his ex Debbie Rowe.

I'm 2 degrees from the some child actors, the one I can think of is from the movie Matilda.  I heard, at least then, she was wuite the brat irl ;)

My inlaws lived in LA before moving back.  One taught some of the kids in movies, the other was/is friends with Debbie Rowe.

Hi!

My parents' next-door neighbor graduated from high school with Elvis Presley. They even have a party once a month with all their old high school friends.

Also, Kimberly's mom knows the lady who sang (or wrote, I forget) that song "Betty Davis Eyes". Well, she knew her because Kimberly's mom is deceased.

Oh, my friend Carter (from college) works for Big & Rich, the country band. He does lighting for their shows. Plus he's worked for lots of other famous bands like that.

I the white stripes. Super

And I'm dying to know who your famous parents are, Melissa. lmao. I'm like a cat, super curious. lol.

*I totally understand why you can't say anything.
