While I'm thinking about John Wayne movies, Frankie Avalon was in "The Alamo." I think there was yet another John Wayne movie with a famous singer in it, but I can't remember which one at the moment.

Randy Travis starred in "The Long Ride Home."

How about Dean Martin in Rio Bravo (1959) ?

I'm trying to remember if Dean did any singing in movies after he 'broke up' with Jerry Lewis...

This is a good one, gave Doris her theme song:

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

"Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.."

Robbie Robertson in "Carny" (a cool movie with a young Jodie Foster)

And any Elvis Presley movie ...I have 18 in my collection ....they're all good
I want to collect them all (I think he made 32 movies?)

Paul Jones (ex-Manfred Mann singer) in the rarely seen 1967 movie
called "Priviledge" It was considered to be too ontroversial and was banned from being shown in Britain for over 20 years

Another favorite of mine is Coal Miners Daughter, based on the life story of Country superstar Loretta Lynn. Loretta's dad was played by Levon Helm the drummer of one of the most definitive rock bands from the late '60's and early '70's, the Band. If memory serves, I think that might have been the first actor role Levon had. If not the first, then one of the first. Great movie, came out in 1980.

Default Hmmm.....

How about Pay it Forward. Wasn't Jon Bon Jovi in that movie? Ok, he didn't sing but he's famous, right?

Awesome movie!!
