As our About page indicates, GENE KELLY FANS considers Gene Kelly's work, star image, and fandom from an analytical perspective. The site was conceived in 2010; but for the last several years, due mostly to the decline of blogging in general, it has remained dormant.
Flashforward to 2018...
During this year, there was an influx of interest in the Hollywood star in digital media and within popular culture. Shows/series like Dancing with the Stars, Strictly Come Dancing, Legends of Tomorrow, Modern Family, Family Guy, and Funny or Die referenced Kelly and his film musicals.
To that end, I reinstated GENE KELLY FANS.
I moved the most significant portions of the dormant site from the publishing platform Wordpress, where it was housed for 7 years, to this new location.

what does this Change mean?
All of the content from the original site will likely never be transferred here. But the most significant information — biographical info, contributor essays, and reading lists, for instance — has been uploaded.
Any updates or additions to this site will be announced via GKF's social media accounts. So I would advice you to follow us there.
