Eugene
Curran Kelly
Gene Kelly,
whose name is synonymous with dance, was a leading figure of Hollywood musical
films of the mid-1940s. His dancing style which was based on ballet, made a
serious impact on the film industry for the first time. He proved that dance is
not typically a woman’s forte and that men can excel in it too. At that time
when dance, especially ballet, was restricted to the theatres only, he was
instrumental in introducing it into the films. Soon, dancing was not just a
part of the film, but films began to be made on dance! He danced his way to
glory in the peak days of Hollywood musicals, choreographing in almost all of
his films. Kelly laid a great impression upon the film industry owing to his
innate ability to think out of the box. He was not just focused on achieving
perfection in dancing, but also experimented with his style in almost every
film, making the best use of lighting, camera techniques and special effects to
render extraordinary visuals. He believed that dancing in films is not any
different, but if one is to make a film on dancing, it is bound to have more
than just plain dancing. Kelly certainly achieved what he aspired to and also
made way for other actors/dancers who come to Hollywood with similar
dreams.
Childhood & Early Life
· Kelly was born to
Harriet Catherine and James Patrick Joseph Kelly as their third son.
· At the age of
eight, he was enrolled to dance classes against his wish. He dreamt of playing
baseball for the ‘Pittsburgh Pirates’ a Major League Baseball club from his
hometown, Pittsburgh.
· He was sent to
the St. Raphael Elementary School and later to the Peabody High School, from
where he graduated in 1929. With the ambition of studying journalism, he
enrolled to the Pennsylvania State College, but financial difficulties forced
him to work in order to support his family.
· In 1931, he
attended the University of Pittsburgh where he studied economics. There, under
the department of theatre and arts, he joined the ‘Cap and Gown Club’.
· He graduated
from the university in 1933, with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Then he
went on to join the University of Pittsburgh Law School, while still in contact
with the University of Pittsburgh and serving as the director of ‘Cap and Gown
Club’ in 1934.

from law school after two months and in 1937, he went to New York City to
establish a career in choreography.

disappointment. Even though he made several television appearances, he never

Dancing!’ in 1985.
