My first film I played an innocent bystander or
the screen for two minutes and 14 seconds.

which was in the year of 1951.

I began starring in movies in the 1950s such
as, “Dial M for Murder, To Catch a Thief and
the Swan.” It is hard to believe that it has been
2 years since I starred in these movies.

2. My Father John Brendan “Jack” Kelly, was a
champion sculler who won three Olympic gold
medals as part of the U.S. rowing team. I was
defiantly not his favorite. He always said I
wasn’t going to go far in life, but my sister
“Peggy” was the oldest and he had big dreams
for her.
