Five O'Clock Angel

Mostly reblogs these days - this has pretty much morphed into a Gene Kelly fan blog, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Whatever happened to Gene Kelly’s youngest children? I know Bridget tragically lost her son, but did either of them have other children? Only Kerry seems to speak publicly.

“If I could melt your heart, we’d never be apart.”

We were never in a relationship

But whenever we talked the conversations never seemed to end.

We were never in a relationship

But whenever we'd go out I never felt like leaving your hand.

We were never in a relationship

But when we kissed it felt a lot like love.

We were never in a relationship

But when you told me you went on a date with someone else it felt a lot like sadness.

We were never in a relationship

But I swear to God I was hopelessly in love with you.

We were never in a relationship

But I know in my heart, we could've been the sweetest thing in the entire fucking universe.

I love rhythmic dancing - I’m not derogating it at all. It’s just that sometimes you want to whisper, ‘I adore you.’ And for that you need strings and woodwinds. - Gene Kelly

Sophie Tucker (January 13, 1886 – February 9, 1966)

My mother met this amazing woman whist out on a date with a rather swanky gentleman. My mom modeled for Sacks Fifth Ave in the late 40s, and was a mix of Eve Arden and Grace Kelly. Sophie told her she was a “looker”. My mom said that better not be a rhyme. I loved my mom!
