Gene Nelson was one of a kind-dancer, actor, choreographer, and director for stage, screen, and television. The admiration he received from co-players (with one exception) is moving and impressive. Musicals with Doris Day (who took up dancing again thanks to Gene), and his delightful portrayal of Will Parker in the blockbuster screen classic Oklahoma! make for an unforgettable legacy. And yes, Nelson managed to overcome scandal as he transitioned into becoming a prolific director.
