The wife, who has become interested in the going-ons here has made a suggestion. It may be fun, or just an exercise in lunacy. She didn't understand the 6 degress of Kevin Bacon exercise, but once she did, suggested a MGoBlog version. To that end: Kevin Bacon + Michigan, in 6, if you are so inclined.
EDIT: Whatever you may be drinking rationale is encouraged.

One small tweak
In bold below.
5) Selma Blair went to Michigan and Cranbrook/Kingswood with my wife, who went to Michigan.
Cutting steps
Selma Blair was in "Cruel Intentions" too
EDIT: In fact you can go way faster because Blair did a guest spot on Season 9 of "Friends" alongside Jennifer Aniston who co-starred in "Picture Perfect" with Kevin Bacon.

EDIT part deux: Seriously, who doesn't remember Selma Blair making out with Sarah Michelle Gellar in "Cruel Intentions"?

Sorry
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but since his face didn't appear, it doesn't count. The official rules say that you would have to be able to tell it was him by looking at him. Voiceovers don't count, apparently. The JFK->Field of Dreams one is as close as I could get to Bacon-James Earl Jones connection.
John Lithgow...

An Obscure One...
1) Kevin Bacon was in a "JFK" in 1991 with veteran character actor George R. Robertson, who is perhaps most famous for his role of Commissioner Hurst in the "Police Academy" films.
2) Among Robertson's roles is a short appearance in a largely (and rightfully) overlooked 1969 film called "Marooned".
3) Among the supporting cast of "Marooned" is Michigan alum Nancy Kovack.
Here's a straight-to-Michigan Bacon connection:
1) Kevin Bacon played Chip Diller in "Animal House", and Chip was in the ROTC unit commanded by one Douglas Niedermeyer, played in turn by Michigan alum Mark Metcalf.
