William Powell, is the # 52 most connected actor of the 1920’s.
I’m surprised I haven’t done William Powell before, probably up before I discovered this site. Since Bill has not made a film since 1955 he never has been on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. These are the people on the 2020 list he appeared with. I do like him connecting to one of them in a 1923 film.

Hey Dan….thanks for visiting one of our “Before Dan” pages. Good lists as always….surprised he is connected to so many people still on the 2020 list….that is pretty impressive for somebody who has not made a movie in 65 years. Mickey Rooney and Keenan Wynn (one of the MGM stars that does not have an UMR page) have the title of most frequent Oracle co-star. His 34 Oscar winning co-stars is a very good total….especially since he made many movies before Oscar even existed. Good information.
