People used to play a game called “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.” The rules: you had to be able to find unusual connections to the actor in six or less moves.
So how’s this—Kevin Bacon and Wyatt Earp? Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgewick. She is the great granddaughter of Endicott Peabody, a well-known educator and pastor of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Peabody lived and built a church in Tombstone in 1882. One of his friends and supporters was…Wyatt Earp. Easy, huh?
