She has a brass neck and a deviousness which knows no bounds. She hoodwinked poor Gene when he was ill & cut him off from his family & friends. His children were also excluded from his will, really disgraceful. Patricia dear, you will get your just desserts some day.
She talks as though she was actually there; even more, that she was the one in the movie. I met someone once who had attached himself to a film actress from the 1930's, and when she was asked a question, he would answer for her, beginning with, "We..." "We made that film in 1932..." We? I thought, "You weren't even born yet." Odd group of people who do this.
She's making this speech to clear up myths, and misstates the name of the song that Reynolds performed, which she says helped get her the job. Oh, the irony...
Of course it's a myth. Have you watched the movie? Unless you're blind, you'll see that it's made up of at least 10 shots, thanks to the genius of Stanley Donen, who knew when to dolly in, pull back, track along with the dancer, etc.
Of course. But to the average viewer, it's painfully obvious that it wasn't filmed in one take. Even Astaire's numbers typically involved at least 3 takes, but in his case, he always tried to make it in one.
she was 26, and he was almost 50 years her senior. We all like younger women, but this kind of massive age gap stunts are mostly reserved to celebrities
If Gene Kelly hadn't wanted Debbie Reynolds in the movie, she wouldn't have been in the movie.
Thank you for sharing this background information!

And how exactly do you know this?
Yup she is a snake

I guess it is a myth too that the iconic scene was filmed in one take
Yes, that is a myth.

No need to be rude. You can film a scene in one take, shoot coverage, and then edit them together.

DDumbrille Why didn't you say that the first time instead of being a dick?
the milk in the water thing is everywhere..... why the hell authors don't check their stories before publishing
I always heard the milk was used when Gene dubbed his taps, not on screen. So it was for sound only.
are you telling me this woman is 80 years old?
No, she was born in 1959. She isn't 80
She is 62
@@jeanpierredevos3137 so she acted in this as unborn? nice i guess
@@Danetto Look on wiki. She was 47 years younger than het so born in 1958 and currenly 62.
@@Danetto she didn't act in the movie, she was Gene Kelly late wife.
Can't get the calculation right. How old was she when she met him?

What's with this woman and her gloves. In every clip I've ever seen her in she's wearing gloves. Seems like a sweet soul but it's just strange.
Lionel Raoul this “woman” was his wife.
I was aware of that. The observation still stands. What's with Gene Kelly's wife and the gloves?
@@lionelraoul Oh leave her alone. She's just cashing in on his fame. :)
@@DDumbrille
You got that right!
She might have some kind of skin condition - I presume there could be something that doesn't make her hands look good.
