Happy 100th Birthday, Gene Kelly!

What a glorious feeling! From Singin in the Rain

One hundred years ago, one of the movie’s most enduring stars was born.  Gene Kelly made dancing look athletic and he made it look just plain fun.  He was also an innovator in Hollywood who always wanted to try something new.  His centenary is a great reminder to share his classic films with your friends and family.  This is from It’s Always Fair Weather, which also has a great dance number with garbage can lids.

And this is from Anchors Aweigh

With Judy Garland in his breakthrough film, For Me and My Gal
