Kelly's father was Al Jolson's road manager in the 1920s.

Working on an autobiography at the time of his death.

Graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in economics.

Was originally set to star as Don Hewes alongside Judy Garland in Easter Parade (1948). However before filming began he broke his leg, resulting in Fred Astaire coming out of retirement in order to replace him in the film.
