One more Hollywood bachelor is out of circulation now that Gene Kelly has married his pretty dance assistant Jeanne Coyne, in a surprise ceremony at 2am in Tonopah Nevada their close friends suspected they were in love but even so the marriage came as a bit of a surprise.
The pair were married just 18 days after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, after being a couple for almost four years.
