The folks at Virginia Quarterly Review were nice enough to let me write an essay for them on Gene Kelly. In the piece I discuss
- the slew of centennial events celebrating Gene Kelly (some of which are still going on, btw),
- a few reasons Kelly and his image are circulating in pop culture of the twenty-first century,
- my attraction to and interest in the star, and
- Kelly’s complicated (masculine/feminine) star persona
So, if any of that interests you, head over to VQR‘s “Gene Kelly, Star Signification, and Centennial Celebrations.” Thanks for reading!
The post Centennial Celebrations and Gene Kelly’s Star Image appeared first on Gene Kelly Fans.
