Description This is a request, I did for Realarpmbq, he is the Grandson of the late Dallas McKennon, now Dallas has had an amazing career, he voiced the Fox in Mary Poppins, he voiced the laughing of a Hyena in Lady and the Tramp, and through discovery, I found out about all these actors he worked with directly or indirectly throughout different eras. He is also Gumby in the 1950s and 60s Cartoon Gumby, and the inspiration behind Kelsey Grammar's character "Stinky Pete" in Toy Story 2. As he was also in a live action show called Daniel Boone.


So we all know that McKennon's Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury, and Julie Andrews number is 1. But you'll be shocked to discover he has a Benny Hill number of 2, Benny Hill is a famous british comedian who the "Yakety Sax(Benny Hill Theme)" came from, and he also worked with Dick Van Dyke on "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", he is also in other films like "The Italian Job", and was known for his hit single "Ernie, The Fastest Milkman In The West".

Another interesting number I Found was that McKennon has a Bruce Forsyth number of 1, because McKennon, in that film, was Fisherman Bear. And the late Bruce Forsyth(Who in this picture I accidentally spelt his name with an E on the end) was also in the film as Swinburne, now here's an interesting fact about Bruce Forsyth, I and 20,000 other people were in the same room as him 10 years and 3 days ago, at an Iron Maiden Concert, he was there and he was hiding amongst the crowd, turns out Bruce Forsyth is a massive Iron Maiden fan. Which I think is awesome.

Dallas McKennon also has some interesting numbers with a Chris O Dowd number of 2 as Chris O Dowd was Seamus in Mary Poppins Returns and Dick Van Dyke was also in that movie, alongside the original Mary Poppins.

Now, here's another interesting fact, Jason Momoa worked with Julie Andrews on the first Aquaman Movie, Julie Andrews played a Sea Serpent called Karathen.

Now below Julie Andrews is Amy Adams, the film Enchanted had her as Narrator, and one of the Dancers who Dick Van Dyke worked with in the "Step In Time" sequence in Mary Poppins is also in the "That's how you know" sequence.  Julie Andrews was also in Shrek 2.

Now, to the right of Dallas McKennon, is where it gets really interesting, he has worked with Verna Felton and Peggy Lee, now Verna Felton, worked with the late Lucille Ball of "I Love Lucy" fame, and Peggy Lee was once married for a short time to Brad Dexter, who saved Frank Sinatra from Drowning and was good friends with the late Marilyn Monroe. Next to Brad Dexter are Yul Brynner who was in The King And I and Westworld,  and also Steve McQueen, they both worked with Brad Dexter on "The Magnificent Seven".  Steve McQueen is a legendary actor, and in "The Great Escape", he works with the late James Coburn who was in Monsters Inc, with John Goodman.


This is pretty interesting, and this is the first request of it's kind that I've done for someone, I hope to do some more requests or points commissions on these six degrees at an eventual point in time, but requests and points commissions, are open.
