Aloha Gene Kelly Friday!
    
Gene Kelly, born on this day in 1912, was
      an American dancer, actor, singer, director and choreographer. He
      was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought
      to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general
      public, which he called "dance for the common man". He starred in,
      choreographed, and, with Stanley Donen, co-directed some of the
      most well-regarded musical films of the 1940s and
      1950s.(Wikipedia)
