Jimmy Thompson was a dancer at MGM, possibly a protege of Gene Kelly's. He appeared in Singin' in the Rain, Brigadoon, and some other musicals, and later in Forbidden Planet, but mostly he dropped out of sight. One rumor had it that he was a better dancer than Kelly and that caused friction.

Whatever happened to him?
