Music Trivia -> Singers Who Act -> C
All too often, a performer gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame in a band, they can also act! Some make the leap ok like Will Smith, others like Vanilla Ice are best left forgotten.

She also played herself on an episode of "Touched By An Angel." Her acting is rather wooden (very unlike her singing) but I've seen worse. - Chris | ||

| Connie Francis | Where The Boys Are, Follow the Boys, When the Boys Meet the Girls | I love Connie's singing but she isn't much of an actress (which she herself admits). Then again, no one ever said those '60s beach movies made for Oscar-worthy performances. The most memorable thing about "Where the Boys Are" is (surprise, surprise) Connie's beautiful performance of the hit title song. - Chris | ||

| Courtney Love | The People vs Larry Flint, Feeling Minnesota, Basquiat, Man on the Moon | Courtney only had bit parts in Basquiat and Feeling Minnesota but she had a full part in The People vs Larry Flint and Man on the Moon and garnered acclaim as an actress. - Celeste | ||
| Courtney Love | Straight to Hell | Courtney Love first set eyes on Kurt Cobain at an event I like to call "Wrestlemania Portland", an event I will describe if I find a relevant post. However, Kurt first saw Courtney in this Alex Cox movie starring Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello. Kurt watched the film with a friend, Damon Romero, who pointed at an actress and said, "Hey, there's the girl from that band down in Portland [Hole]." This woman was Courtney Love. - Jakko Wakko | ||
