[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)
