Palm: Patricia Ward Kelly Tributes Husband Gene Kelly
12 Dec Palm: Patricia Ward Kelly Tributes Husband Gene Kelly
“At 14, I discovered girls. At that time dancing was the only way you could put your arm around the girl. Dancing was courtship,” Gene Kelly
Thank heaven for little girls. Without them, we might have been denied the king of Hollywood musicals and such shoe-shaking marvels as “Singin’ in the Rain,” arguably the greatest dance film ever made.
Born August 23, 1912 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania into a working-class family, Gene Kelly was an American film actor, choreographer and director whose athletic style and classical ballet technique transformed the film musical. Kelly turned his back (gracefully of course) on European aesthetics of ballroom dancing on highly polished floors in tux and gown, choosing instead to blend solo dancing (often tricked out the street clothes of the common man), mass movement, and offbeat camera angles to tell the tale in his dazzlingly kinetic, unique idiom.
