I was up late last night watching a Netflix movie so I could get it out in the mail today. The movie was Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer, which is a documentary on his life and incredible career.

In one part they were talking about Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, both of whom I love, and how their styles of dance were so different. The way Gene Kelly himself put it was "Fred Astaire represented the aristocracy, I represented the proletariat." Fred was more graceful and light, Gene was more down and dirty and real.

Jeanine Basinger, an authority on dance/film, said the greatest thing:

"You give you heart to Fred Astaire, but you save your body for Gene Kelly."

Granted I was hearing this at 1 a.m., but I just LOVED it, and wanted to share it.
