I actually had Gene Kelly's brother as a dance teacher in college. Every class was 45 minutes
reminiscing about the old days and a 45 minutes of dance. He used to talk about the time
he (Fred Kelly) was reported dead in Variety, and how he was the one who really wanted
a career in dancing, not Gene. They used to drag Gene kicking and screaming to dance class.
Amazing how things turn out!

Fred and Gene were so different I just can't decide who I love more. So I won't!
But they helped me survive my childhood and affected my life and personality
and musical tastes forever!

This is really TOO funny !

I went to the same dance / voice / acting schiil, as a child, that Fred and hs sister Adele had gone to , many decades earlier. It no longer exists, but The Alveni School was once quite well known, in theatre / movie circles of Manhattan, and Hollywood. We always had scouts coming to look us over.

You have the Gene link, and I have a Fred one. LOL
