Singing Actors/Actresses

[liambarn]

Who's your favourite?

My vote(s) go to Don Estelle..........Actor
Judy Garland.......Actress



I put one of each and labelled them so people would be certain of which category they are in.

Now, don't laugh, but I always liked Fred Astaire's singing. Some might say he couldn't act or sing, only he always made the romance work for me, when he broke into song. He didn't dance too badly either

Judy Garland, what an actress, what a singer. Shame she couldn't get her life back on kilter

Well, there are many actor/singers in musicals ... I thought this thread was going to be about those who primarily sing but also act, or the other way around.

I'm not playing favourites but would like to throw some names into the pot:

The Ladies:

Elaine Stritch
Judy Garland
Tyne Daly
Angela Lansbury
Lauren Bacall
Katharine Hepburn
Ginger Rogers
Cyd Charisse (on stage if not on screen)
Carol Channing
Della Reece


The Gentlemen:

Keith Michell
Edward Woodward
Gene Kelly
Fred Astaire
Peter Lawford
Gary Bond
Jeremy Brett
Christopher Lee
Anthony Newley
Harry Secombe

Dean Martin, one of my favourite singers who also appeared in many films, i admit i do not like the films he did with Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin can be seen singing in the film Rio Bravo (one of my favourite Westerns) in the YouTube Video below, Ricky Nelson can also be seen singing in the YouTube Video below.

I have got all of George Formby's songs and films, i like both his singing and his films.

This couple put on a good show.
