Kevin Bacon to Kevin Bacon in 3

I'm having fun with the Kevin Bacon game. I'm using an online resource called Star Links to try and find the most reclusive names and see how far of a leap they have to make to match. I can't get past the score of 3 which means it used 3 movies to link the two names including the two movies each actor was in.

For example, John Holmes the porn actor to Ronald Reagan yields a return score of 3. Yes that's right. Ronald Reagan was in The Last Outpost with Bill Williams. Bill Williams was in Night of the Zombies with Jamie Gillis. And Jamie Gillis was in Ginger Lynn: The Movie with John Holmes.
