Ask who? That's me, Donna, the creator of this site. I'm no expert, but after years of research I can answer a lot of questions about Gene Kelly. Presented on this page are the "frequently asked questions" since this site began in 1996. If you have a question for me, please send an email. The frequent, unusual, or interesting questions will show up here!
dance around a building under construction? - Living in a Big Way dance with the cartoon? - Anchors Aweigh with Jerry Mouse and also in Invitation to the Dance dance with himself? - Cover Girl dance in the rain? - Just kidding! Everyone knows that one!
"As a child he was singularly accident-prone, and at the age of six, while riding a tricycle without handlebars on Mellon Street [Pittsburgh, PA], he lurched forward on to an exposed piece of cast iron. The metal went through his cheek, causing a deep gash which bled profusely. Mrs. Kelly was out at the time, and a neighbour, hearing him cry, rushed him home, and as his wound continued to pour blood into the kitchen sink over which he was perched, she called the family doctor who stitched him up. To this day he still carries the evidence of the accident in the shape of a small, half-moon scar on the right [sic] side of his face. When he first arrived in Hollywood in 1941, certain studio photographers touched up the scar, but Gene himself never bothered to conceal it in any of his films, and it has become an acceptable part of his appearance." Actually, the very acceptable scar is on the left side of his face.
More questions and answers will be posted soon!
