Adjacent to the “L,” Kelly’s Pub served as a setting in the 1984 film “About Last Night.” Everyone in Kelly’s immediate family were extras in the movie. During the filming, he got to know actor Jim Belushi. When he was a fire captain in Logan Square, director Ron Howard, in preparation for filming “Backdraft,” spent a night at the firehouse — where the firefighters short-sheeted his bed and took to the intercom to announce, “Opie, line 1.” Kelly described Howard as “a very, very nice man, down to earth.”
