Gene Kelly remains one of the most beloved and iconic stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, renowned for his dancing and singing in musicals such as An American in Paris, Singin' in the Rain and On the Town to Brigadoon. But Gene Kelly was also a hugely influential innovator, who transformed dance on the screen from tie-and-tails elegance to an everyman art form infused with athleticism and combining classical, folk and popular styles. His groundbreaking contributions to choreography and direction had a huge impact on musical theatre, contemporary dance and filmmaking, setting the stage for the work of Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins and Twyla Tharp. As an actor, singer and dancer, he projected a persona that audiences loved, could identify with and root for, even while being dazzled by his spectacular production numbers. Patricia Ward Kelly, Gene's widow, gives a personal view on their relationship, his contributions to cinema, and her ongoing work celebrating his legacy.

For the video version with the clips: https://youtu.be/8Za9WPIZk2g Eugene Curran Kelly was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was the largest and most powerful studio in Hollywood when Gene Kelly arrived in town in 1941. He came direct from the hit 1940 original Broadway production of "Pal Joey" and planned to return to the Broadway stage after making the one film required by his contract. His first picture for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was For Me and My Gal (1942) with Judy Garland. Kelly was in the same league as Fred Astaire, but instead of a top hat and tails Kelly wore work clothes that went with his masculine, athletic dance style. Gene Kelly died at age 83 of complications from two strokes on February 2, 1996 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. Patricia Ward Kelly is an author and public speaker based in Los Angeles.

I enjoyed my time at The Divulge Dancers Film Festival in November 2018 which inspired 5 essential elements to empower as an artist. http://annettbone.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Divulge-2-11.17.2018-2.jpg () Empower the element of your communication skills. One thing is to work on is enunciation. I had a hard time understanding one of the dancers on Get Lite. Empower the element of possibility thinking. Put the law of attraction into play. One of the dancers did this in Get Lite because he said he was going to Paris and London to teach and it happened. Get the creativity going toward the results you want and not what you don't want. Empower adversity into an advantage. Mother's Balls featured Amber's adversity of a strict background which forced her to be creative. Empower inclusivity in dance and other art forms. Making Waves with the Down's Syndrome dancers was very heartwarming. I am also reminded of other companies that are inclusive such as Axis, Heidi Latsky, Infinite Flow and Leigh Purtill Ballet Company. Empower Other's Skill Set. I love getting around other people that are more advanced in their skill sets than I am. A great example of someone who always empowered others to be better was Gene Kelly. http://annettbone.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Divulge-2-11.17.2018-145.jpg () Links/Info from this session:http://annettbone.com (Get my FREE Audio Resource) https://www.divulgedancersfilmfestival.com/?lightbox=dataItem-jm5ogz3w (Divulge Dancers Film Festival ) http://www.axisdance.org (Axis Dance Company) http://www.heidilatskydance.org (Heidi Latsky ) http://infiniteflowdance.org (Infinite Flow Dance) http://www.leighpurtillballet.com (Leigh Purtill Ballet Company) http://annettbone.com/067 (Interview with Marisa Hamamoto) http://annettbone.com/110 (Interview with Ally Vega) http://annettbone.com/185/ (Interview with Patricia Ward Kelly) http://heididuckler.org (Heidi Duckler) Would you review The DancePreneuring Studio?I would be extremely appreciative if you would subscribe and leave your feedback on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher Radio.

Watch this 1951 classic film, starring Gene Kelly as a former American GI who falls for Parisian Leslie Caron, on the big screen while the NJSO plays the score live.

When a young, bookish scholar met Gene Kelly years ago she had no idea who he was. Then they fell in love and she got to know the man and his career better than anyone else on earth. Today Patricia devotes herself to keeping his memory alive, and performs a heart-rending one-woman show about Gene Kelly as she knew him. Leonard and Jessie learn some things they never knew in this intimate conversation about the peerless entertainer.

Dr. Shellie Hipsky and Neil Haley, The Total Tutor interview the empowered widow of dance icon and Hollywood star/director Gene Kelly. Five years prior to their marriage, Patricia began the scholarly journey of writing Gene's memoirs. Now she is sharing his incredible life stories with audiences on tour with GENE KELLY: THE LEGACY... AN EVENING WITH PATRICIA WARD KELLY. Listen as she reminiscences about Gene's many gift and learn about the man behind the legend. Biographer and film historian PATRICIA WARD KELLY is the widow of Gene Kelly. She has worked as a writer at a film production company, as a contributing scholar for the authoritative Northwestern/Newberry Writings of Herman Melville, and as a freelance journalist. She and Kelly met at the Smithsonian in 1985, when he was the host/narrator for a television special for which she was a writer. Soon after, he invited her to California to write his memoirs, a job for which she recorded his words nearly every day for over ten years, and they were together until his death in 1996. Currently, she serves as Trustee of The Gene Kelly Image Trust and Creative Director of Gene Kelly: The Legacy, a corporation established to commemorate Kelly's centenary worldwide. She lives in Los Angeles and is completing the book about her late husband.  

Patricia Ward Kelly joins host Robin Milling to share her memories and behind-the-scenes stories of her late husband Gene Kelly who directed Hello Dolly, now out in a beautifully restored Blu-ray from 1969. Patricia who was married to Kelly from 1990-1996 tells Robin she recorded his stories over the course of a decade writing his memoirs, and shares some of his more personal Hello Dolly ditties on the Blu-ray feature, 'Gene Kelly Remembered.' Patricia says the well documented riff between stars Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau was in fact true that Walter didn't want to be there and often thought Barbra was stealing his close-ups. She adds light to the myth that Matthau detested kissing Streisand, chalking it up to 'a chemical reaction that didn't work for him.' Gene also revealed to Patricia that Phantom of the Opera star Michael Crawford almost didn't get to sing It Only Takes A Moment because producers thought his voice was too tiny! Patricia is championing Gene Kelly's centennial year with screenings of Singin' In The Rain accompanied by a full blown orchestra throughout the world. She is currently writing a book about their life together and hopes Kelly's legacy will be remembered as not only a consummate talent but a true romantic.
