Celebrity Connection Game
 

I'm sure this game has been played on this board before but I couldn't find it on the 10 or so back pages I looked at.

Very simple. I'll start with a celeb name and the next person mentions another celeb who is in some way conected with the first. The connection could be marriage, affair, friendship, professional projects together - anything. And so it goes on and on.


So : Paul Simon was in a duo with Art Garfunkel

Yes. Thank you. :lol: I was hoping for something as fabulous. Now I'll stop being bitter and do the last one you did...

Christina Ricci once played the lesbian girlfriend of Charlize Theron.

Olympia Dukakis was in Steel Magnolias with Shirley McLaine!

Oooh... not sure I would go that far.. I would say I love it equally as much though. :nod:

Nicholson was recently in the Departed with LEO DI Caprio

(I think we're all posting at once, not ignoring people - just pick whichever one you see last)

Kate Winslet is married to Sam mendes who made Road to Perdition with jude Law
