Thread of some of my favorite movie performances by people who started out as musicians and rappers, starting with the Queen of all multi-hyphenate queens: Cher. I love her in everything, but Moonstruck is my favorite
Please please please do yourself a favor and watch Be Kind Rewind, starring Yasiin Bey (Mos Def). He is wonderful and so is his co-star Jack Black in this movie by Michel Gondry
Queen Latifah. Just cast her in everything! She's great in dramas like My Life, musicals like Chicago, comedies like Girls Trip and one of my all-time most rewatched movies ever: Last Holiday
Frank Sinatra won an Oscar for his first movie role in From here to eternity
People make fun of Madonna for being a bad actress, but she was The Moment in Desperately Seeking Susan, one of the best New York movies ever, and she was one of the best things about it
Did you know that Doris Day started out as a big band singer before making movies like Pillow Talk and That touch of mink? Well, you do now!
Maybe you've heard of this guy? Will Smith? He's been in a movie or two. Hard to pick my favorite because he's so versatile, but the first time I saw him in Six Degrees of Separation, he blew my mind!
And last for now BUT NEVER EVER LEAST, my Goblin King.
So many of these musicians ended up getting Academy Awards and nominations... I know why some people are scared...
