JUGENEA SNIPPET

While on location in Palm Springs filming ‘Girl, Crazy’ , Gene and Judy make a decision 

Thought I'd share my Jugenea playlist with you all 🥰 (for some it's the lyrics for others it's just the vibe that reminded me of them)

« I happened to love Judy. Dearly. A platonic love, of course. But I loved her for her and for her talent. You have to rank Judy way, way up there amongst the gods and goddesses. She had a talent that transcended anything else. No one else came close to her... because she was so vulnerable. »

Gene Kelly on working with Judy Garland in his first movie “For Me and My Gal” (1942)

Without [Judy Garland], my first few weeks would have been even more miserable than they were. She pulled me through. She was very kind and helpful, more than she ever realized, because I watched her to find out what I had to do. I was amazed at her skill; she knew every mark and every move. All I could do for her was help with the dancing. She wasn't a dancer, but she could pick up a step instantly, and as a singer she was incredible. She had only to hear a melody once, and it was locked in her mind; we used to call her "Ol' Tin Ear." I learned a great deal about making movies doing this first one, and much of it was due to Judy. She was a very relaxed, marvelous person [...] the most talented performer we've ever had.

A rare recording of Gene Kelly singing “ If I Could Be With You...” It was a song he regularly sung at his famous parties at home on Rodeo Dr. in Hollywood in the 1940s and 50s. It was featured on the late Sue Cadman’s “Gene Kelly Creative Genius” website.

I mixed clips & photos of Gene focusing mainly on his early years in Hollywood and his love of physical activities and family but I also put in a little of everything :)
