The Rock to Rock Hudson

I could have sworn that it was seven steps....you know, inspired by "the seven steps of Kevin Bacon" where he could be linked to ANY actor/actress in less than 7 steps......

Actually, I think I first heard of it as seven steps also, TtG. But we've always played it as six steps, and I've never not been able to make a connection in six steps or less. *shrug*

Anyway.

Freeman was in Outbreak with Donald Sutherland

How about Reggie Jackson to Grace Kelly?

I believe that both are actually correct. The game is based off the original seven-steps-to-Kevin-bacon idea, but is also based off the movie "Six Degrees of Separation", and six is probably just the first thing someone thought of when creating the game.
