Eldergays tell me about Gene Kelly
Better than Fred? Frustrated by not being capable to transition out of musicals? Was his last decade terrible for him personally?

He was certainly better looking than Fred, but I'll call it a sketch on their talents. Both are legends.

He was reduced to active with career killer Olivia Newton-John, who killed John Denver's career, Andy Gibb's career and a host of others.

Hell of a dancer, but limited by his screen persona - that of an arrogant, obnoxious guy who needed to be humbled by the last act. Sometimes it worked brilliantly, as in "Singin' in the Rain", but it doesn't make you want to watch a lot of his films.

I have many wonderful memories of Gene. I just can't think of them.
Oh well, have to go now.

Fred could still kick-it-up a little into his 70s, whereas Gene could hardly walk at the end.

Gene Kelly's widow says their nearly 50-year age gap was 'not an issue'
Gene Kelly's widow never saw a problem with their nearly 50-year age gap.
Patricia Ward Kelly, who married the "Singin' in the Rain" star when she was 31 and he was 78, said that the "age issue was not an issue" for her in an interview with Fox News published Wednesday.
"(The) funny thing is, I never really even thought about it because he was so juvenile at heart," she common. "He was young in the way he spoke, in his demeanor, in his brightness of his mind, certainly."
In fact, Kelly told Fox that she "didn't even add up the difference" in years between them until tabloids started making "such a big deal" about it.
Kelly previously told The Irish Times that she met her future husband in 1985, when he was 73 and she was 26 and she was working on a documentary about the Smithsonian museum that he hosted. At the time, she said she had never heard of the actor and only learned that he was "really famous" after working with him for a week. Six months later, he invited her to his home in California and asked her to help write his memoir.

Gene Kelly’s on-screen costumes unveil a star preoccupied with his own masculinity
When it comes to dance royalty, Gene Kelly reigns supreme. With credits including classical musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain (1952), An American in Paris (1951), and On The Town (1949), Gene Kelly is foremost remembered for his athletic style of dancing, and stands out in famous memory as the first example of the manly dancer.
But despite this posthumous reputation, during his career Kelly’s masculinity was a constant source of anxiety for both the celestial body – he frequently retold a story in which he denied being a ‘sissy dancer’ at a burger bar in Brand-new York – and for the studio he worked for. Although Kelly worked hard to hone a dancing style that would be considered manly and virile this was not enough, and in both his on-screen and off-screen appearances it becomes clarify that dress was of paramount importance in creating Kelly’s masculine image.
At first glance, many of Kelly’s costumes seem remarkable only for being, well, unremarkable. Throughout An American Paris, his dress is notably normal: at the beginning of the film, the luminary appe

His face was blurred out, but he still admitted on the show that being there was going
