We’re still counting down to Gene Kelly’s centennial, August 23, 2012. Today, two more fans celebrate:
“I have always loved Gene Kelly’s films, but I’m amazed at how much my daughter admires and appreciates him. At 10 years old, she’s a huge fan, and it’s great to see that Gene hasn’t lost his appeal! His musicals are so lively and fun that they reach out to young viewers and draw them in, and I think that’s one very important reason that movies like Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and On the Town (1951) are still so popular today.” — Jennifer Garlen, independent scholar, writer, and speaker in Huntsville, Alabama.
Gene Kelly is in inspiration to all and should be introduced to young ones so they can become inspired to be the same! He was an amazing person who strived to do what he loved, someone who never gave up on his dream! — Danielle B.
