Jeez, someone actually made a connection. I was just throwing out random obscure names. I would have accepted Christopher Lee though who did an English narration for M. HULOT'S HOLIDAY.

The WEAKEST LINK host? All right.

Anne Robinson parodied herself as Anne Droid in the last two episodes fo season 1 of DOCTOR WHO with Billie Piper
Billie Piper was in THE CALCIUM KID with Orlando Bloom
Bloom was with Kiera Knightly in the PIRATES trilogy
Who was in LOVE ACTUALLY with Chiwetel Ejiofer
You know the rest.

Someone else come up with a name because I'm not that much into this game.

Wait, did we skip over Michael Madsen?

...OK, I'll do 'em both! :)

Start with the current:

Gene Kelly was in Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John who was in The Wilde Girls with Swoozie Kurtz who guest starred in Huff, and so did Jewel Staite.

And the skipped, which might be a bit of a cheat, but I wanted to use the link, so:

Hmmm...how 'bout George Burns?
