March 2025 - The Six Degrees of Separation Between Talented Women by Fran Joyce

This month we are celebrating the achievements of women. We’ve come a long way since the Elizabethan era when male actors played women’s parts because women were not allowed to act in the theatre.

When women finally got their chances in the mid to late 1600s, they shined, and women continue to shine.

In honor of these brilliant performances, our quiz is “Six Degrees of Separation Between Talented Women in the Acting Profession.” Can you connect these women using only movies/TV shows and other women in the entertainment industry? Can you get there in six connections or less? Here is an example for you: Saoirse Ronan and Sandra Bullock

Saoirse Ronan is in Mary Queen of Scots with Emma Chang who is in Crazy Rich Asians with Awkwafina who is in Ocean’s 8 with Sandra Bullock – 5 connections

Good luck!
