Next: Roxanne Hart
Roxanne Hart was on Chicago Hope with Adam Arkin who was on China Beach with Dana Delaney (aka Squeeky).

How about Leonardo DiCaprio?
DiCaprio was in Titanic with Billy Zane
Billy Zane was in Tombstone with Dana Delaney
Dana was Magnum’s love interest in season 7’s “L.A.” and “Out of Sync”.

Let’s try Christopher Plummer.

I never thought of that. I was thinking he starred with Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. She was in the film Hawaii with Manu Tupou. He was the good Kahuna in The Curse of the King Kamehameha Club. I guess there really are only 6 Degrees of Magnum P.I.

Macaulay Culkin - Dan Aykroyd (My Girl)
Dan Akroyd - Kevin James (I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry)
Kevin James - Bryan Cranston (King of Queens)
Bryan Cranston - Robert Forster (Breaking Bad)

Robert Forster was Tyler McKinney

Outta sight.

Sticking to the 80s. How about Loni Anderson next.
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Hoffs was in Stony Island with Dennis Franz who was in Simon & Simon with Gerald McRaney who was in
Rockford Files with James Garner who appeared in another Rockford episode with Tom Selleck.

Up Next: STERLING HEYDEN (just his exploits in WW 2 would warrant a movie about him)

You dated Susanna Hoffs?

Pre or post Bangles fame?

Middleish around the time The Allnighter came out in May of 1987.

I had no clue who she was, she used her mom's maiden name when we first met, then fessed up on our 2nd date when she realized I really didn't know she was famous.

3 dates, she was super nice, but very short and not my type.

Hmmm, no one accepted the challenge of linking Sterling Heyden (whose real life reflected many of the same attributes) to Magnum.
So I will. Heyden starred with Frank Sinatra in Suddenly(1954).
Sinatra, in his last role, appeared in Magnum.
Next up: Grace Jones.
