to all gene kelly fans i am 40 year old lady whos mother was in the movie the scene was i got singing scene she was about 6 or 7 years old she rembers being in leslies carons dressing room and being in gene kellys dressing room because her uncles were working where the movie was being filmed in 20 centery fox in rancho park
I remember back in 1952, when I first met Gene, how much of a swell guy he was! So handsome, polite and charming. He was having a drink in New York at a local bar and my brother and I were working on our song number for the entertainment.
It's such a profound memory because after we finished, Gene was the first person to come up to us, shake our hands and tell us what a swell job we'd done and he enjoyed us thoroughly. No one around like that today.
You know what I love about this one? That even though those kids were working actors on a movie set, some with lines, some without... they are all watching Gene dance, completely entertained and enthralled with his dancing. Pure joy!
And for the person who commented about meeting him? I am super jealous! Talk about the thrill of a lifetime!
In both the roller skate dance and "The Hat My Father Wore" there are a ton of extras, and even though they're on the job you can tell they're enchanted and knew they were seeing something special.
I love gene kelly... there will never be anyone who makes it all seem so smooth and effortless... and he was so laid back... what a fantastic entertainer, dancer, all-around gentleman!
One person seriously has got no rhythm!!!!
