[edit] Thanks
I think that this pagr had a lot of info yhay I needed for my sixth peroid drama class. Thank you so much. There is only one problem, I needed a little more detail, things about your whole life and facts but other than that it was great.
Sincerely, Breeana R.
Gene Kelly was awesome. I can't say that in the article, but I sure can say it here. --Xtreambar 03:34, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] birth place
I am sure that Gene Kelly was born in Ireland, and that his birth name was Eugene Curran, not Kelly at all. He got the name Kelly from his granparents, or his mothers MAIDEN NAME I think. This information is quite inaccurate, I should know as my Grandad, John Curran, is Gene's cousin. He tells me stories of him being there when he was younger, in Galway, West Ireland. I would edit the page but I don't know enough to do so. emma--195.92.194.11 16:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- I am pretty sure his father was James Kelly and mother was Harriet Curran. Arniep 21:34, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
"When Harriet Kelly gave birth to her third child, a son she called Eugene Curran - better known as Gene - on 3 August 1912, at the Sacred Heart Parish in Pittsburgh's Highland Park district, her husband, James Patrick Joseph Kelly, could not have been more delighted" quoted from Clive Hirschhorn, Gene Kelly, A Biography W.H Allen, London, 1984. p.5 ISBN 0491031823. Gene cooperated with Hirschhorn on this biography. Dermot 18:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC) Incidentaly, Hirschhorn got the actual date of birth wrong. It was August 23rd, and was corrected in the later Yudkoff biography.Dermot 18:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Gene Kelly in popular culture"
What was his actual career if not in popular culture ? (Such sections are discouraged anyway aren't they ? Wikipedia:Avoid_trivia_sections_in_articles) -- Beardo 04:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. It may be pointless removing them entirely as some of the items are probably genuinely noteworthy and will almost certainly be reinserted at sometime in the future. I've tried to integrate the most noteworthy as notes supporting comments such as "much-imitated" when used in relation to some of Kelly more famous routines. I don't claim this is a perfect solution, but at least it relegates such items to a less visible and arguably more appropriate place in the article, while enabling deletion of the section.

[edit] Family Guy Awards
as appearing in an episode of Family Guy isn't an actual award i think this bit of information should be incorporated elsewhere —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.154.110.103 (talk) 21:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
