Have there been very many female artists who have successfully made the transition from actress to musician - or the other way around.

Barbra Streisand of course - she is so fantastic!
Bette Midler - also amazing as either or or.
Cher - LOVED her in Moonstruck!
Madonna?? Well, I did like Evita
Mandy Moore seems to be doing pretty well. She is a singer too, right?

Anyone else? I'm sure there must be more!

Beyonce Knowles - I liked her character portrayal in 'Obsessed'
Ann-Margret

** I guess the key word is successful ** hmmm...

I haven't seen that movie.

Oh, who was that singer in Desperate Housewives on Sunday?

Vanessa something... she's a good actress too, and a LOVELY voice.

Oh! Whitney Houston has done a bit of acting too, right? And can she ever hit those notes.

Vanessa Williams. She is a singer and actress. She was crowned Miss America 1984 too.

Oh right!! I remember! Seems she had a wee bit of scandal with that... and that always make for a good jump start on a singing career, doesn't it LOL.

Whitney Houston acted in a couple of movies that I can think of and she was okay.
