My Take
Paula Kelly is the sort of total stage artist I instantly admired. Born in Jacksonville in 1943 and trained at New York's storied LaGuardia High School, she made her Broadway debut in 1964's Something More! and worked as actress, dancer, singer and choreographer across film, television and theatre. Performers who can act, sing and move all at once can transform a room, and that kind of full-spectrum craft feels increasingly rare in an age of specialists. She passed in 2020, but I keep wishing I could have seen that lightness live. To me she represents an entire vanishing tradition of all-around showmanship worth honoring.
