<![CDATA[6 DEGREES RULES:]]>Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Jodie Foster

6 DEGREES RULES:
In short: ONLY feature films in release or TV films.
So no pre-production, post-production or completed, in brackets behind the titles
NO: TV series (although mini-series are a gray area), variety shows, talk shows, award shows, music specials, comedy sketch shows etc.
NO: shorts, animation or voice acting (so also a narrator of a film or for instance, a voice over the phone). However, live action short films &a5b4mp; voice acting in animated feature length films have been (mis)used so often, it is tolerated, although many of the long time players choose not to use them.
NO: video games, documentaries or compilation films (e.g. That's Entertainment, Horror in the Aisles)
NO: archive footage or digitally inserted appearances (good example is Steve Martin's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid).
NO: him/herself, except as a character in the film, but that is sometimes difficult to establish, so it's also a matter of choice to use or not.

Sorry no degree but I'm sure Jodie Foster is the only actress who had five films with real life father and son actors through over two decades. Catchfire/The Little Girl (in a way Siesta too) and Carny/Contact.
From each family one plays a nutcase and both Sheens and one Busey die, what might qualify for additional bonus 🙂
