Gene Kelly - Stuntman

Gene Kelly and Dave Hardin Sharpe, The Three Musketeers: The part of D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers is incredibly physically demanding and athletic. It's hard not to include the actor and stunt double for the role as they both come together to make a perfect whole. If you look closely, there is hardly any room in the film for a stunt double, as Kelly rarely has his back to the camera. He admits in several interviews that although he did most of his own stunts, there was just one aspect of the character he wouldn't do, he wouldn't ride a horse. So the award for 1948 goes to Gene Kelly and his stunt double Dave Sharpe for this film.
