Editing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (section)

===Examples===

* [[Elvis Presley]] was in ''[[Change of Habit]]'' (1969) with [[Ed Asner]]. Ed Asner was in ''[[JFK (film)|JFK]]'' (1991) with Kevin Bacon. Therefore, Asner has a Bacon number of 1, and Presley (who never appeared in a film with Bacon) has a Bacon number of 2.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=2024-07-17 |date=2019-04-17 |first=Frank |language=en-US |last=Agin |title=Networking Lessons From The "Kevin Bacon" Game - Innovate New Albany {{!}} New Albany, Ohio |url=https://innovatenewalbany.org/networking/networking-lessons-from-the-kevin-bacon-game/ |website=Innovate New Albany}}<!-- auto-translated from Spanish by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>

* [[Ian McKellen]] was in ''[[X-Men: Days of Future Past]]'' (2014) with [[Michael Fassbender]] and [[James McAvoy]]. McAvoy and Fassbender were in ''[[X-Men: First Class]]'' (2011) with Kevin Bacon. Therefore, McAvoy and Fassbender have Bacon numbers of 1, and McKellen has a Bacon number of 2.

Because some people have both a finite Bacon ''and'' a finite [[Erdős number]] because of acting and publications, there are a rare few who have a finite [[Erdős–Bacon number]], which is defined as the sum of a person's independent Erdős and Bacon numbers.
