Fred Norbert Kelly (June 29, 1916[1]–March 15, 2000)[1] was an American choreographer, dancer, actor and director. Early lifeBorn in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1916, Kelly was the youngest of five children of James Patrick Kelly and his wife, Harriet. His father was a sales executive with Thomas Edison's phonograph company, and his mother worked with stock theater as a hobby. She ensured that all of the children took lessons in music and dancing.[1] Kelly began his dance career at the age of four performing with his older siblings known as The Five Dancing Kellys, including famed American actor and dancer Gene Kelly.[1] He began to teach dance at thirteen years old at the family owned Gene Kelly Studio after learning to tap dance legend Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}} As a teenager, Kelly traveled around Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as a magician with two assistants.[2] He also worked on a showboat each summer of his eighth-12th grade years.[1] He attended the University of Pittsburgh and graduated in 1939.
