WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE WITH YOUR BACON?
July 8th in history:
We can’t prove it, but it’s possible that every item listed in “Triviazoids” is within six degrees of Kevin Bacon. The star of “Footloose” and dozens of other movies was born on July 8th, 1958.
Let’s see … Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie “Frost/Nixon.” And a Colonel named John Nixon read the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia for the first time on July 8th, 1776.
Bacon also had a role in the movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.” And on July 8th, 1965, Ronald Biggs escaped from a British prison where he was serving time for his role in the “Great Train Robbery” of 1963. He stayed out of prison for more than 30 years before turning himself in.
