* [[Odd Friendship]]: Following [[Paula Abdul]]'s release of "Opposites Attract", Kelly took notice of the music video and enjoyed it, later asking Paula over to his place for tea. The pair continued to meet for tea once per week until his death.
* [[Passing the Torch]]: While playing Danny McGuire in 1980's ''[[Xanadu]]'', Kelly actively mentored director Robert Greenwald, advising him on how to direct a musical, and eventually gifting Greenwald with the watch that Kelly used to time musical numbers in his own films.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Easily the manliest ballet dancer next to [[Patrick Swayze]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Himself and Fred Astaire (see above quote).
