I think Gene may be a teensy-weensy bit in love with Olivia, guys (the way he looks at her, though!) 🥺 And, I have a sneaking suspicion, that the feeling is mutual. 🥰 These two were absolutely adorable together, and you can see the real affection between them. 🤍 Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly, in her television special, "Olivia Newton-John: Hollywood Nights" (1980). 💕
The phenomenally talented Lola Falana performs the song I Am Love on her limited TV series Lola! in 1976. Known as “The Queen of Las Vegas” during the 1970s, Lola's talents as a riveting singer and dancer definitely warranted the praise she received during the height of her fame. Following her success performing at The Sands, The Riviera, and the MGM Grand hotels, The Aladdin Hotel ultimately signed her for $100,000 per week, making her the highest paid female artist in Las Vegas during the era.

Yes, Gene! Yes!!! 🥰 Look at that 68 year old man, picking Olivia up with one arm! 💪 That's the way you do it, baby! 😉 I'm being silly, but in all honesty, I felt unexpectedly emotional watching this scene. It was surprisingly poignant (especially in light of his own personal losses 😔). Gene could still make us feel something wonderful, couldn't he? 🥺 Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly, in "Xanadu" (1980). 💕
