Who Was Gene Kelly?

Gene Kelly was an American film actor and director whose athletic style and classical ballet technique transformed the film musical.

He boldly blended solo dancing, mass movement and offbeat camera angles to tell a story in purely visual terms.

Athletic and energetic, Kelly was the king of the musicals in the 1940s and '50s. Not only did Kelly star in some of the genre's most famous films, he worked behind the scenes, breaking new ground with his choreography and direction.
