Six Degrees Of "Weird Al" Yankovic

Nice going, OE! I hope BTD approves of my Miranda Richardson post. Since you didn't give a new name, perhaps we could still try mine: Vincent Van Patten.

That's too easy.

Vincent Van Patten's father....I don't know if any of you have heard of him. His name is Dick, and he might have appeared in a Weird Al Video or two.

Of course his father is Dick Van Patten, who was in the Smells Like Nirvana video!

I figured Patti would be the only one who knew who Miranda Richardson was! Except maybe SSG. Good job, Patti. Here's a quicker one though:

Miranda starred as the Queen of Hearts in the made-for-TV-movie of "Alice in Wonderland." Her co-star, Christopher Lloyd, starred in "Haunted Lighthouse" with Al.

BTW, yes, Miranda did appear on SNL. I don't remember what she was promoting though...

Louie Anderson once hosted the "Family Feud." So did Richard Dawson, who appeared regularly on "Match Game." Al's friend Judy Tenuta appeared on the most recent version of "Match Game."

Well, la-tee-da, BTD!

I didn't see Alice in Wonderland. But thanks for the compliment on mine.

Don't know who Anthony Hopkins is. Sorry. (I know, I really have to get out into the outside world more...)

I've heard the name, but don't know anything he's done.

I remember seeing that but don't remember Jim from 'Taxi' in it.

Christopher Lloyd played a night on a horse in the movie. Alice meets him in the forest. He's probably not as memorable because he's one of the many "Wonderland" characters not featured in the old Disney movie.
