Great Actress/Singer at the same time?

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've considered the same, but I don't know too many that actually have careers in both....the first name that comes to mind with a beautiful singing voice and a good acting career would be Zooey Deschanel....but now that I think...Ewan McGregor, Victor Garber, and perhaps Nicole Kidman....all who have great singing voices, but no real career in singing....

but sticking just to actresses, Zooey Deschanel and Nicole Kidman

Beyonce comes to mind. She's only did like 3 major movies if i remember right with Dreamgirls being the 3rd 1. And each of her movies has been different for her characterwise so i think she's proven herself as an actress. And we all know she's a great singer.


And I think Aaliyah would've been such a huge star in movies if she had the chance. She was the only good thing in Romeo must die and QOTD lol

yeah, Aaliyah had sooo much going for her at the time of her death. She had 4 movies under her belt(The Matrix Sequels, Honey, & a movie that her & her agent had proposed for her to star in to Fox Searchlight Pictures)

Aaliyah would have been a great actress. She'd already made the transition; if only she had the chance.

I think that Julie London is a great example of someone that was great as an actress (Emergency!) and as a singer.

I love her sexy sound!

I've always liked Mandy Moore, and I think she has developed into a very good actress to go along with her singing career.

Kate Winslet sings? Seriously?

I'm not a fan of the younger actor/artists...like Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, etc. Mandy Moore is probably the only one I can stand. And that's probably because she's not a publicity ho.
