Great Actress / Singer

[jenlovetv]

I was wondering. do you think it's possible to be a great actress & a singer
at the same time. And which female actress/singer do you think has the best
acting AND singing talent?


I started thinking about this after I found out that Jennifer Landon
(daughter of Michael Landon of 'Highway to Heaven', 'Little House on the
Prairie', & 'Bonanza' fame) who followed her dad's acting career and really
did well in the daytime soap AWS (As the World Turns) went on to launch a
singing career. I believe she only has 1 song out right now, called Slide,
but it's really good. You can check it on iTunes if you like.

Any thoughts?"

I'm very fond of Bette Middler as an actress/songstress.

yes, I think frequently folks who are good in one artistic genre show talent in others

How about Barbra Streisand?

Judy Garland

 

[bjp22tango]

Julie Andrews
Lena Horne
Doris Day

and in the other gender

Bing Crosby
Antonio Banderas

Many of these were typecast and not allowed to show all the actual talent they really had.

It might be easier to list the actors who attemped to sing, but really couldn't pull it off or the singers who tried to act with the same result.

And then there are all those actors who sang in moves without great voices, but because of the magnetism of their personalities carried it off:

Bob Hope
Bette Davis
Audrey Hepburn (Moon River)
Fred Astaire

dual

The most under rated performer , surely has to be donald O' Connor-- could sing , dance with the best of them, act, and also, very funny-- throw in sammy davis for good measure . Supreme talents, both .
