Patricia Ward Kelly, the widow and official biographer of famed dancer Gene Kelly, joins the podcast, to discuss her work as Trustee of The Gene Kelly Image Trust, the entity Kelly established during his lifetime to govern the use of his name, voice, likeness, signature, and persona. She is also President and Creative Director of The Gene Kelly Legacy, Inc. a corporation established to celebrate Kelly’s artistry and to perpetuate his legacy worldwide. Mrs. Kelly makes a big announcement about an upcoming event in Scotland during the podcast that you do not want to miss. She also speaks candidly about preserving and cataloguing The Gene Kelly Archives—an extensive collection of letters, manuscripts, photographs, scripts, interviews, essays, poems, holograph notes, and memorabilia that will eventually be the basis of additional publications and, ultimately, the core of an innovative, virtual Gene Kelly “Experience.” We also discuss some of Gene Kelly's most famous movies, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and many more. http://www.genekelly.com/ https://www.facebook.com/patriciawardkelly Follow us on Instagram: @imiytk
