Gene Kelly(August 23, 1912 – February 2, 1996) was an American dancer, actor, singer, director and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general public, which he called \"dance for the common man\".[2][3]He starred in, choreographed, and co-directed withStanley Donensome of the most well-regardedmusical filmsof the 1940s and 1950s.

Kelly is best known for his performances inAn American in Paris(1951), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture,Singin\' in the Rain(1952), which he and Donen directed and choreographed, and other musical films of that era such asCover Girl(1944) andAnchors Aweigh(1945), for which he was nominated for anAcademy Award for Best Actor.On the Town(1949), which he co-directed with Donen, was his directorial debut. Later in the 1950s, as musicals waned in popularity, he starred inBrigadoon(1954) andIt\'s Always Fair Weather(1955), the last film he directed with Donen. His solo directorial debut wasInvitation to the Dance(1956), one of the last MGM musicals, which was a commercial failure.

Kelly made his film debut inFor Me and My Gal(1942) withJudy Garland, with whom he also appeared inThe Pirate(1948) andSummer Stock(1950). He also appeared in thedramasBlack Hand(1950) andInherit the Wind(1960),[4]for which he received critical praise.

He continued as a director in the 1960s, with his credits includingA Guide for the Married Man(1967) andHello, Dolly!(1969),[5][6][7]which received anOscar nomination for Best Picture.[8][9]He co-hosted and appeared inZiegfeld Follies(1946),That\'s Entertainment!(1974),That\'s Entertainment, Part II(1976),That\'s Dancing!(1985), andThat\'s Entertainment, Part III(1994).

His many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical, and he is credited with almost single-handedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences.[10]According to dance and art historian Beth Genné, working with his co-director Donen inSingin\' in the Rainand in films with directorVincent Minnelli, \"Kelly ... fundamentally affected the way movies are made and the way we look at them. And he did it with a dancer\'s eye and from a dancer\'s perspective.\"[2]Kelly received anAcademy Honorary Awardin 1952 for his career achievements; the same year,An American in Pariswon six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. He later received lifetime achievement awards in theKennedy Center Honors(1982) and from theScreen Actors GuildandAmerican Film Institute. In 1999, the American Film Institute also ranked him as the15th greatest male screen legendofClassic Hollywood Cinema.

In most cases, using Jack Smalling\'s baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980\'s and 1990\'s, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings.
