I love both Gene Kelly and Judy Garland separately, but together they had a special chemistry. It seems like their friendship and respect really shown through.<br /><br />When you wrote about Pal Joey, I was reminded how much I would have loved to see him be able to reprise his role on film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318052777683415613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-61038995980843501582016-05-26T19:32:45.470+01:002016-05-26T19:32:45.470+01:00Great and informative article Catia!

(I didn't know Harry and Jo were real people either! Learn something new every day! :-) )<br /><br />I've also heard that Gene went so far as to fake an injury while doing Summer Stock, to give Judy extra time to get through one of her rough periods. I don't know if it's true, but it sounds consistent with his behavior toward her. Gene is a great favorite of mine anyway, and it just makes me love him more to know he was so loyal and kind to someone who needed it so much.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728399079739252114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-23572065685464620242016-05-26T17:55:40.829+01:002016-05-26T17:55:40.829+01:00I completely agree.

I hold Judy very near and dear to my heart, so the fact that Gene was there for her during Summer Stock just makes my heart want to burst.

I had no idea that Hayden and Palmer were actual vaudevillians. I'm sure the plot was a stretch on the truth, but now I'm curious to know fiction from fact. <br /><br />Following Judy's relationship with Gene as you did really illustrates her highs and lows. Walters' quote about holding her up and nailing down scenery broke my heart. I'm so glad Kelly didn't let success make him into a diva. I love that he helped her out as she had helped him.<br /><br />Thank you for participating in the blogathon!<br />BonnieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728909810579677454noreply@blogger.com
