Gene Kelly.
Gene Kelly (1912-1996), American tap and ballet dancer, choreographer, actor, and director, known for his work in motion-picture musicals.
Eugene Curran Kelly was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he studied at his mother's dance school. He first won recognition in the Broadway musical Pal Joey
(1940). Kelly moved to Hollywood, California, and made his film debut with American actor Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal (1942), a role which brought him
stardom. He subsequently appeared in and codirected such popular film musicals as On the Town (1949) and Singin' in the Rain (1952).
His dancing and choreography in An American in Paris (1951) were acclaimed as outstanding examples of film ballet, as was his performance of Richard Rodgers's
Slaughter on 10th Avenue ballet in Words and Music (1948). Kelly's work also includes the all-dance film Invitation to the Dance (1956) and the jazz ballet Pas de deux,
choreographed for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1960. He performed dramatic roles in such films as The Three Musketeers (1948), Marjorie Morningstar (1958), Inherit the
Wind (1960), and A Guide for the Married Man (1967). Kelly directed the film musical Hello, Dolly! (1969).
Kelly received a special Academy Award in 1951 for his contributions to motion-picture choreography. He was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government
in 1960. In the 1980s he received two prestigious life achievement awards, one from the Kennedy Center (1982) and one from the American Film Institute (1985). Kelly
was awarded a National Medal of Arts in 1994.
