Thursday marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Gene Kelly, the athletic artist and Pittsburgh native who revolutionized dance on film and often said his fondest desire growing up was to play shortstop for the Pirates. He also was a 1933 University of Pittsburgh graduate, and his alma mater is teaming with his widow, Patricia Ward Kelly, to honor him this year.
I think we had a thread about this on the old Forum because Hugh was involved in a tribute last May.
Here's a bit more info on upcoming events:
