If you like song and dance movies of the 1940s and 1950s, then you probably loved Gene Kelly. Dancer, singer, actor and funny man, Kelly was one of MGM's legendary stars of the silver screen. Gene Kelly would have been 100 years old today. During the "Frog Days Of Summer", you might check out Turner Classic Movies (TCM) today as they are running 12 of Kelly's classic films.

One of everyone's favorite movies is "The Wizard Of Oz", and on this day in 1939, it made its debut. The film propelled the career of 16 year old Judy Garland and became a classic film in American culture. I can still remember sitting on the gymnasium floor as a kid in second grade at Miller School (now Martin Luther King, Jr. School) in Utica as we watched it for the first time.
