Life's Too Short - A Story of Gene Kelly (Hardcover)

This revealing memoir of Gene Kelly's life is written by his widow, and published in the 50th anniversary year of the release of "Singin' in the Rain". For decades Gene Kelly was one of the world's most recognizable and popular entertainers yet his life story remains little known. Now, six years after his death, Patricia Ward Kelly offers a moving portrait of the private man who defined grace and style for generations. She captures the Gene Kelly she knew, in his own words and hers. It is a memoir of his life and of their life together, incorporating his memories of his formative years and of his storied career with her perspective on Kelly's later years and his attitudes towards fame and celebrity.
