Singers With an Acting Career, Some Successful Some Not So Much

It’s not rare for singers to try to expand their Hollywood horizons and dip their toes in acting. During Hollywood’s Golden Age, musical films were extremely popular, so the most famous actors could also sing. With multi-talented stars like Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and Fred Astaire, it wasn’t hard to switch from the music world to cinema. Nowadays, there is more of a division between singing and acting. While some celebs transition successfully, others should stick to what they are good at.
