Flew from Los Angeles today and had two very nice and interesting people sat next to me.
The very beautiful lady to my left was Patricia Ward Kelly, Wife of the late Gene Kelly movie and dancing legend.
The guy to my right was K C Collins best known for his roll in 'Lost Girls' and all round friendly chap.

4 hours of relaxed conversation with a little insight into what Gene Kelly was like.

Sometimes travelling can be very enjoyable.

Cheers,
Tony

He said relaxed. Nothing about flying with Ryanair is relaxing.

Ryanair is even less relaxing when your MIL (who struggles with breathlessness decides to squat down for some "recovery breathing" in the aisle during boarding!

Was it a roll? Or a cartwheel? I can never decide.

All round good guy, very charitable and very athletic.
He developed his style of dancing because he wanted something that the US could call its own compared to the Fred Astaire European Ballroom or latin.

I guess its natural to leave out any negatives when your talking about your late husband.
She was on her way to do a show in Toronto where she shows video's of him dancing and talks about the details behind the performance.
Heading to London sometime but haven't checked her web site.

Thanks.

He was reputedly a very hard task master when coaching the other actors and dancers.

May I ask which flight you were on?

ETA: I've just realised that maybe you didn't fly back to the UK.

I'd assumed that it was back to the UK. I saw a lady that looked like Patricia Ward Kelly on my flight so put 2 + 2 together...

Needs an echocardiograph if she hasn't had one. GP no doubt telling her it's asthma or copd. It isn't if squatting relieves the symptoms.
