He was a triple threat, Estelle, and an extraordinary talent. His wife is a lovely lady and it truly is a labor of love for her to continue talking about his legacy. This was a lot of work to write, but SO worth it for me. Plus, it doesn't get better than talking about such a giant of classic film.

Great piece. I remember watching the movies with Gene, and particularly enjoyed hs work in Singing in the Rain. But it wasn't until I saw "That's Entertainment" that I realized what a force he was in the dance world and behind the scenes. It's wonderful that his wife is continuing with his legacy.

Thanks, Lois. I felt as if I spent a few weeks with him. She does him justice in all that she is doing; a lovely woman.

Now that I've written the article I miss him! I'll just have to re-watch his movies. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo....

Yes, he was a triple threat! I loved that piece by Christopher Walken, too. He was so right about Mr. Kelly.

I am glad you enjoyed my post and took the time to let me know your thoughts.

Best to you~

How wonderful you got an opportunity to interview her! Gene Kelly was certainly one of the greats. It was fun to get a glimpse into his life.
