Trivia
ADD TRIVIA-
Gene was placed on the list of the Greatest Male Lead Actors by the American Film Institute, on June 16, 1999, coming in at #15.
-
Gene was approached by author Ray Bradbury to produce a movie, supplying his 80-page draft of "The Black Ferris" short story he had written in 1948 as a script source. However, Gene was unable to obtain financial backing and had to cancel the project. Bradbury later expanded the draft into a novel, "Something Wicked This Way Comes," released in 1962, the movie version of which was done in 1982.
-
Gene was offered the chance to direct Cabaret (1972) but turned it down.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Gene Kelly: I wanted to invent some kind of American dance that was danced to the music that I grew up on: Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin. So I evolved a style that certainly didn't catch on right away - but I had some good mentors in New York who encouraged me.
-
Gene Kelly: When Ginger Rogers danced with Astaire, it was the only time in the movies when you looked at the man, not the woman.
-
Gene Kelly: I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.
