1. no

Not unless he was born earlier and it was him instead of Fred Astaire who made all those 30's movies and became famous earlier...

2. I'd hope not. Nor should he be ashamed for making "Xanadu"

4. Fuck no!

Dude danced, sang, and got some serious trim for many many many years.

Oh and he had mad cash.

He should've been cackling like a madman.

5. According to Joel Silver, it's a possibility

From screenwriter Larry Gross' diaries of the making of 48 HRS.:

Joel recalls Gene Kelly, the legend who he worked with on Xanadu, the colossal flop he worked on with his current boss/partner Larry Gordon that Gordon always likes to bring up when he wants to tease or pick a fight with Joel.

According to Joel, Gene Kelly hated just about everyone, but especially Frank Sinatra...first because Sinatra was so wealthy but especially because Sinatra got to be in Guys and Dolls, and losing the part of Sky Masterson a part Goldwyn had promised Kelly, was the great grief of Kelly's life. Joel has a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of Olde Hollywood, via his NYU film history professor William K. Everson. "Kelly" says Joel "was the bitterest man in the world."
