Gene Kelly
Birth:
August 23, 1912, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Death:
February 2, 1996, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA. (complications from two strokes)
My
favourite actor. He was the coolest movie musical actor.
He was so multi-talent; he could sing, dance, act, and direct. His
image was so friendly, in U.S., Fred Astaire represented the High
Society; Gene Kelly, he represented the American working class. It
was pity that I started watching his films after he passed away.
