Who are the most famous people you're 6 degrees or less from that you know for sure? I know the general idea is that almost anyone can be connected to almost anyone else within 6 connections, but who are the ones you can say for sure?

Mine - that I know for sure - are:

3 degrees of the Queen Mum and Queen Elizabeth II
3 degrees of Werner von Braun
4 degrees of Hitler

acquaintance, but relations can obviously count –– only rule is that each link has to know the next link

I went to high school with former University of Nebraska QB Joe Ganz, and my godmother is a manager of the 60s rock and roll band The Buckinghams.  Does that count|?

My brother and his wife are close personal friends of Todd and Sarah Palin.  He also works security for here occasionally and she opens her mail.

I had lunch with Larry Bossidy once.  He was one of the best known CEOs in the 90s, CEO of AlliedSignal and Honeywell.

I met and talked to Tim O'Brien, did the autograph and photo thing too, one of the best and most famous bluegrass singer/songwriters of the last three decades, lead singer in Hot Rize (grammy award winners).

My other brother was the Command Crew Chief Master Sergeant at Bagram, Ellsworth, and Maguire/Fort Dix.  No doubt he worked with and met some pretty high ups all the way to the CIC.  He has personal letters from every living president all the way back to Carter.

My dad used to haul rock for Chuck Berry (famous rock singer) and my great aunts used to work at C.Berry's place.

I hobnob with some pretty well known people in the bicycle industry and Richard Schwinn was an unofficial advisor to our bike company as well as a close personal friend of my partner.

I met Milliken (the owner of Milliken fabrics advertised on TV).  What an asshole.

My former CEO has met the Queen of England and received an award from her.

Played music with Dolly Parton's cousin.  Almost got to jam with Ricky Skaggs......

Got to learn instrument making from Bob Abrams, at the time one of the top banjo makers in the world and now a famous octave mandolin maker, subject in a book on woodworking.

Now just imagine the connections from these people:  Sarah Palin, Tim O'Brien (yeh, he has played and sung with just about everybody well known in country/bluegrass), Dolly Parton, Chuck Berry, QE, the presidents.

Me -> Alan Alda (met him, he's a cool guy)
Alan Alda -> Rip Torn (Canadian Bacon)
Rip Torn  -> Chuck Norris (Dodgeball)

All degrees lead to Chuck Norris.
