More on Gene Kelly
Description from Wikipedia:
Eugene Curran "Gene" Kelly (August 23, – February 2, ) was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, producer, and choreographer.
A major exponent of 20th century filmed dance, Kelly was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks and the likeable characters that he played on screen. Although he is probably best known today for his performance in Singin' in the Rain, he was a dominant force in Hollywood musical films from the mid 1940s until their demise in the late 1950s. His many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical film, and he is credited with almost singlehandedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences.
Kelly was the recipient of an Academy Honorary Award in for his career achievements. He later received lifetime achievement awards in the Kennedy Center Honors, and from the Screen Actors Guild and American Film Institute; in , the American Film Institute also named him among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time. ==Biography==
