How much is a unit of blood? Brookhaven National Laboratory explains that within one unit of blood there are several components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate. Each component of blood can be stored for differing amounts of time, with plasma lasting the longest.
Gene Kelly was married three times during his life. His first wife was Betsy Blair (December 11, 1923 â March 13, 2009). She was an aspiring actress/dancer from New Jersey who met Gene in 1940 when she was a day early for a night club audition.
The pair were married just 18 days after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, after being a couple for almost four years. When they divorced amicably in 2006, Kelly moved into a new home a mere 200 yards away to stay close. Both have since moved on, and are now happily remarried with young families.
