Frank Sinatra was very good in films (Von Ryan's Express) and Johnny Cash wasn't bad (Murder in Coweta County), but they were both singers first and actors second. Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan are actors turned singers (for Mama Mia!), but they are not good singers.
Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood both 'sang' in the brilliant Paint Your Wagon and were surprisingly good, but the marvellous Harve Presnell really stole the show. I think Eastwood did sing or play instruments in other films(?). His son is a musician and his daughter was a good actress and showed a lot of promise.
The actors turned singers would make a good thread in its own right.
