At last, I have a photo of Jack Kelly with his sister, actress Nancy Kelly, to share with you:
As you can see, there is definitely a family resemblance, especially around the eyes.
The caption on this photo (which is stamped 10/17/1955) reads: "Nancy Kelly, who plays one of the leading roles in Warner Bros' production, The Bad Seed, is met at the airport by her brother, Jack Kelly, upon her arrival from New York. Jack is the leading man of Warner Bros' television series, Kings Row for ABC-TV".

Look at the breadth of his shoulders! Fantastic photo. You have such an eye. ; >
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I was wondering whether Nancy and Jack had ever been photographed together, and, yes, there's definitely a family resemblance. :D
ReplyDeleteI've been whining for years that I'd never seen a photo of Nancy and Jack Kelly together and I'm so delighted to behold this one, Bartista! You've achieved the impossible. Jack Kelly's sister had a much bigger and more successful acting career than he did, enjoying a heyday in the late '30s and '40s that featured her playing leading lady to Tyrone Power in "Jesse James" (also with Henry Fonda) and Spencer Tracy in "Stanley and Livingstone," both in 1939. (She resembled her brother much more strongly when she was younger, by the way.) So Jack Kelly had his innings with being overshadowed by an actual sibling as well as a fictional one.
