Answer 1

My closest connection path in this group is to Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) at 18 steps. Her ancestry includes Ouderkerks, so we are connected via New Netherland ancestral families.  I did not recognize her name, but I enjoyed reading about her career.

Runner-up at 19 steps is Diana Rigg, an actress I admired. My connection path to her depends on a series of marriages involving Edward VII, Wallis Warfield, and various relatives of English royals.

My connections to the men are more distant than the women. They range from 20 steps for Ian Fleming and 22 steps for John Huston up to 31 steps from Sean Connery and 33 steps for Desmond Llewelyn.
