Coco Chanel's Kevin Bacon Number is Six

They said it could not be done.  More than none of my friends insisted there was no way to connect COCO CHANEL to KEVIN BACON.

Oprah Winfrey?  Piece of cake.In Charlotte's Web (2006) with Dakota Fanning from Cat in the Hat (2003) with Mike Myers on Saturday Night Live like John Belushi in Animal House with Kevin Bacon.  Alec Baldwin?  In She's Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon.  They're actors...it's no big deal.

"Gabrielle Chanel!"  I yelled, excited.  Anyone could do this!  It's fun!

"Actor," responded my impudent friends.  "She's a fashion designer.  You can't do a fashion designer." 

Oh, but Dan, you can!  I thought about explaining it here, but it seemed like it would be more fun to exploit the idea on my blog.

Coco Chanel was a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne, as was Hubert de Givenchy, whose main muse was Audrey Hepburn, who was in The Children's Hour, as was Keira Knightly, who was in Pride and Prejudice with Donald Sutherland, who was in Animal House with Kevin Bacon. 

There you go.  Gabrielle Chanel ---> Kevin Bacon = 6.
