My Top 10 Favorite KELLYs


10. The Kelly Blue Book
      A man can be practical, can't he?

9. Comedian Kelly Monteith
    Back when comedians were funny

8.  "Kelly Gaines," Woody's girlfriend on Cheers
     If for nothing else than the "Kelly Song"



7.  Kelly Hu, from the new Hawaii-Five-0
     Almost makes me want to become a police officer

6.  George "Machine Gun" Kelly
     Because, behind every great man, there's a smarter woman!

     from Wikipedia:

     During the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 1930s Kelly worked as a bootlegger for himself as well as a colleague. After a short time, and several run-ins with the local Memphis police, he decided to leave town and head west with his girlfriend. To protect his family and escape law enforcement officers, he changed his name to George R. Kelly.  He continued to commit smaller crimes and bootlegging. He was arrested in Tulsa, OK, for smuggling liquor onto an Indian Reservation in 1928 and sentenced for three years to Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas, beginning February 11, 1928. He was reportedly a model inmate and was released early. Shortly thereafter, Kelly married Kathryn Thorne, who purchased Kelly’s first machine gun and went to great lengths to familiarize his name in the underground crime circles. She was known to hand out the expended .45cal cartridge casings from his Tommy Gun as souvenirs. Some historians claim that Kathryn even went so far as to plot some small bank robberies...

5"Private Kelly" from Kelly's Heroes -1970
      The only Clint Eastwood character I really like

4.  Kelly Reno, the boy in The Black Stallion - 1979
     Almost tempts me to get shipwrecked on a deserted island with a wild horse

3.  Kelly Ripa
     C'mon, even Kelly herself wouldn't rank herself above the next two!


 2.  Grace Kelly
     Almost makes me want to buy a boat!
