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.
She won a scholarship to Sarah Lawrence College, but before she enrolled she auditioned for a show at Billy Roseâs Diamond Horseshoe, a Times Square nightclub. There, she met Eugene Curran Kelly, the showâs choreographer, and that was the end of her college plans. The couple were married in 1941; they divorced in 1957.
