Uncovering Gene Kelly: His Hidden Past

Описание: The DARK Side Of Gene Kelly (1912 - 1996) Gene Kelly's Hidden Past
Gene Kelly the star of Singin’ In The Rain was a hero to his fans but behind the public mask dwelt an insecure and bad-tempered man who loved younger women. With such classic movie musicals as Singin’ In The Rain, Anchors Aweigh, On The Town and An American In Paris, Gene Kelly came to symbolise American post-war optimism. In a T-shirt and khakis he brought a muscular athleticism to dance, worlds apart from the top hat, white tie and tails elegance of Fred Astaire. 

Yet behind Kelly’s gymnastic exuberance hid a ferociously competitive egotist with a savage temper, a secret dark side and a penchant for younger women, reveals the biography, He’s Got Rhythm.

“He could not abide losing and never hesitated to show his temper when he did,” say co-authors, sisters Cynthia and Sara Brideson, who interviewed Kelly’s family and friends and unearthed previously unpublished sources.

“Throughout his career Gene pushed people to their limit. Whether he did this out of a need to exert power or to test a person’s character is debatable.” And Kelly’s co-stars suffered more than bruised egos trying to keep up with his demands. “Cyd Charisse claimed that her husband always knew when she had been dancing with Gene Kelly if she came home with bruises and with Fred Astaire if she came home unmarked,” say the authors.

Lana Turner was another victim. In a stage fight she told Kelly to throw her down harder. He later confessed, “Like a fool, I broke her elbow.” While filming Anchors Aweigh Kelly played “nasty tricks” on Frank Sinatra because the crooner “was always a pain in the neck”. He also repeatedly tripped up co-star Kathryn Grayson who began strangling Kelly with his tie “until he screamed for her to stop”. At just under 5ft 9in Kelly often felt dwarfed by his co-stars in high heels and made them slouch beside him.
