On Gene Kelly – Actor, Dancer and Director

The history of dance on film begins with Fred Astaire and continues with Gene Kelly.

The more physical of the two, Kelly was a dominant force in Hollywood musical films from the mid-1940s through the late 1950s. His many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical film, and he is credited with almost single-handedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences. In his later career, he found success as a director, both for the Broadway stage and film.
