The Marx Brothers, formerly The Four Nightingales. Reviews say they were fine singers.

Bette MidlerGrammy Award winner and Two Time Academy Award Nominee  Another one of my favorites, along with Julie Andrews, whom you mentioned before. It's amazing - but perhaps not surprising - how many singers became remarkable actors. There's definitely a connection between the two skills. |

Kathleen Howard (1884 - 1956) was once an opera mezzo-soprano star at the Metropolitan in New York, who retired from singing in 1928. She went to California for the weather, but ended up as a character actress for nearly 20 years instead, especially remembered when she played the angry wife of W.C. Fields in a couple of movies.  |

In addition to most of those already mentioned, here's one of my favorite performers:  A bit of bio (shamelessly lifted from IMDb, of course): Here's another snippet, about his later (mostly non-musical) career: |
