Let's Play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

'Six Degrees of...' games were always good fun on the IMDb boards and those on certain actors' boards ran for many years. So let's try and start the tradition up again, and the obvious place to kick it off is on the board of the actor with whom the whole thing started.
The rules are simple. Player names an actor, and the next poster has to link that actor to Kevin Bacon in as few moves as possible. Example:
Player 1 names Elliot Spiers.
Player 2 might respond:
- Elliot Spiers was in Paperhouse with Gemma Jones.
- Gemma Jones was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with Miriam Margolyes
- Miriam Margolyes was in Balto with Kevin Bacon.
...and Player 2 would then name the next actor to link to Kevin.
Feature films or TV movies only - no series'. Try not to select names which would be too easy - linking Kevin Bacon to Sean Penn or Meryl Streep is no challenge!
Okay, here goes...
First try: Caroline Langrishe

Nope, yours is perfectly legitimate! You need to leave another name for the next player, though.

Could this be one of those ~12% of Hollywood with no connecton to Kevin Bacon? It can happen. His limited credits strain connective pathways...
