Gene Kelly, the dancer and American movie icon, was born August 23, 1912. Kelly began as a chorus boy on Broadway, where he later earned stardom in the title role of Rodgers and Hart's 1940 musical Pal Joey.
He spent most of the rest of his career in movies, as a dancer and choreographer, and later directing.
Playbill followed choreographer Lorin Latarro around as she juggled rehearsals for two different Broadway shows: The Who's Tommy and The Heart of Rock and Roll.
