Gene kelly was gay

Eldergays tell me about Gene Kelly

Better than Fred? Frustrated by not being competent to transition out of musicals? Was his last decade terrible for him personally?

He was certainly better looking than Fred, but I'll call it a sketch on their talents. Both are legends.

He was reduced to operational with career killer Olivia Newton-John, who killed John Denver's career, Andy Gibb's career and a host of others.

Hell of a dancer, but limited by his screen persona - that of an arrogant, obnoxious guy who needed to be humbled by the last act. Sometimes it worked brilliantly, as in "Singin' in the Rain", but it doesn't make you want to watch a lot of his films.

I have many wonderful memories of Gene. I just can't call to mind them.

Oh well, have to go now.

Fred could still kick-it-up a little into his 70s, whereas Gene could hardly walk at the end.

Was Gene Kelly gay

NO, Gene Kelly definitely was NOT homosexual. He fought difficult to dispel the myth that all male dancers were gay. He made a TV documentary in 1958 in which he demonstrated, with the aid of many famous sportsmen including Sugar Ray Robinson, that 'dancing is a man's game', dance steps often being an addition of sporting moves and needing similar abilities.

I own gathered a great deal of information about Gene and nothing has given me the slightest reason to think he was other than heterosexual, a good and loving husband to his three wives and a wonderful father to his three children.

OK, but sportsmen can be gay too, and male lover men can be nice and loving partners. And gay men can be masculine men. I should know, I am one. yes, Gene Kelly was a homosexual.....my grandfather who was a lighting director stated that it was very common knowledge in 'the business' that Mr. Kelly was indeed a homosexual and married strictly for PR reasons

Gene Kelly tried to dispel the myth that male dancers weren't "masculine", not that they weren't gay. Those are absolutely not the same thing. Also, "gay" and "sportsman" are not mutually exclusive. One can be both. Most same-sex attracted men

Be honest… would you hold paid to see Gene Kelly fully nude if you had the chance?

Even if he is charging a lot?

Jesus, that man was something else. I’ve had a devotion on him since childhood. He was a manly man who danced in a very masculine way while most male dancers don’t. What a talent he was, and GORGEOUS. That body was ART.

How many men can wear skin-tight white material on their entire body and look that good?

His wretched, toxic character always has left me indifferent about the parts that were well-developed. I'm not fond of white-hoofer style and his "elegant" attempts are dated and silly. He never convinces that he's connecting emotionally or intellectually with anyone else wi

Gene Kelly’s on-screen costumes expose a star preoccupied with his own masculinity

When it comes to dance royalty, Gene Kelly reigns supreme. With credits including classical musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain (1952), An American in Paris (1951), and On The Town (1949), Gene Kelly is finest remembered for his athletic style of dancing, and stands out in trendy memory as the imaginative example of the manly dancer.

But despite this posthumous reputation, during his career Kelly’s masculinity was a constant source of anxiety for both the actor – he frequently retold a story in which he denied being a ‘sissy dancer’ at a burger bar in Recent York – and for the studio he worked for. Although Kelly worked hard to hone a dancing style that would be considered manly and virile this was not enough, and in both his on-screen and off-screen appearances it becomes clarify that dress was of paramount importance in creating Kelly’s masculine image.

At first glance, many of Kelly’s costumes seem remarkable only for being, well, unremarkable. Throughout An American Paris, his dress is notably normal: at the beginning of the film, the celestial body appe
