Juliet Prowse
More InformationI think it unlikely that Gene Kelly's favorite female dance partner was Juliet Prowse, since the two never danced together. Both were marvelous dancers, but their careers never crossed; Prowse was almost a quarter-century younger than Kelly, and her career didn't begin until around 1960, when Kelly's was nearly at a close.
According to Kelly's widow, Patricia Ward Kelly, Gene thought Vera-Ellen was his best all-around dance partner. He preferred Eleanor Powell for tap-dancing.
As of September 2014, Neil Haskell and Lauren Gottlieb are not dating. The two were dance partners in the series, So You Think You Can Dance.
His character (Johnny) that we can see only danced with Penny and Baby.
Gene Kelly was famous for a number of reasons. He was a triple threat. He could act, sing and dance. He could do comedy as well as more serious roles. Kelly directed films and motivated his cast members to work harder. He also choreographed a number of the routines he did in his films.
