More Fun with Bacon - Jeffrey Hunter / Star Trek / Tom Kellog / Shuttle / Avanti
« on: October 27, 2011, 05:38:54 AM »
One picture is some guy. The other pic is a car. His car? Maybe, but probably not. And yet, in a very Kevin Bacon-y way, there is a connection.
 
For 1 point, sleuth the (quite indirect) connection between the guy, and the car.    

Be sure to answer all parts of the question, if you'd like the point. No points or accolades for Google searching the image of the car. Many (most?) auto enthusiasts can name it on sight, anyway.

And Google image search won't identify the other picture for you, either.  >:D

As always, only complete answers will earn a point

No, it's not - but you are slightly closer to the solution

Could it be a young Abe Vigoda who played "Fish" on Barney Miller that cast Ron Carey as the short policeman who was in the movie "The Out of Towners" also starring Jack Lemmon who starred in the movie "Avanti"?

If I might suggest a different strategy: start with the car, and work your way back toward the gentleman pictured.

Of course Raymond Loewy is associated with the Avanti, as were others. But there are more steps to take between the people who designed the Avanti, and the gentleman pictured, who did not design the Avanti

Any chance the actor's Cliff Robertson, who played John Kennedy in PT-109 (he also played Vice President Pike in Mach 2 - clue???), where JFK (the real one) once met with Raymond Leowy and John Ebstein to discuss the design of Air Force One, with Loewy and Ebstein forever linked to the design of the Avanti car???

Nicely done - but that's not Cliff, and JFK and AF1 are not involved

Ok... Then that narrows it down to:

The actor must then be Jeffrey Hunter, who played Capt. Christopher Pike in the Star Trek pilot, where Star Trek once starred the car called "The Reactor" built by Gene Winfield, who also worked with Tom Kellogg at AMT and also where both Winfield and Kellogg designed the shuttle Galileo (depending on who takes credit), where Kellogg had previously been part of the design team for the Avanti car with Raymond Loewy.

Either route should get you from Hunter to Avanti in less than six degrees...

Jeffrey Hunter must have been a very unlucky fellow if one read his biography...

It didn't end well for Mr. Hunter.  :(
