Gene Kelly Autographed Black and White Photo W/Thank You Card and COA - This 4"x6" black and white photograph is signed by influential American actor, dancer, singer, filmmaker, and choreographer, Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks, and the likable characters that he played on screen. He starred in, choreographed, or co-directed some of the most well-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Kelly's many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical, and he is credited with almost single-handedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences. In 1999, the American Film Institute also ranked him as the 15th greatest male screen legend of Classic Hollywood Cinema. The photograph also comes with a thank you card from Gene Kelly with facsimile signature. The autograph was previously housed at the Elvis & Rock N' Roll Museum in Denmark, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
