Cher was already picked, and it's correct. Shatner and Andrews and Smith are wrong answers.
I'll give you the answer, only because I just mentioned her before I posted the trivia question lol.
Although, now that I think about it, Will Smith might have actual joined the list last year! Let me check.
John Cole gets it right!
Will Smith has had 2 no. 1 hits - "Wild Wild West" and "Gettin' Jiggy With It."
So I guess there are FIVE performers who have done it.
never heard of
In my quest for my unknown musical, I ran across Fritz Langs infamous Snake Dance segment from one of his films... Oh my.
Wow I thought Will Smith won an Oscar for Ali. I guess that was Denzel’s Training Day year. But all this time I’ve thought of Will Smith as an Oscar winner for some reason.

He didn't really want to do so, but apparently the academy refused to give him one until he punched someone on stage at their awards ceremony, so he really had no choice.
The closest approximation to Payne as a filmmaker that I can think of is Jim Jarmusch. They both make movies about people talking, for the most part, and being just, well, human. With all the wonder and frailty that that implies.
I thought Downsizing was underrated, although I may be its only fan.
Are there ANY vintage 'musicals/dance' Film experts in the tread?
I have been looking for musical/dance film that I saw many years ago and for the life of me I can not place it, and I have been looking for a couple years now. I have scoured IMDB also. In technicolor.
I can't even accurately remember the actress that was doing the dance sequence, but I do remember what was happening. It was a film based in and around late 1940's to mid 1950's and she was doing an EXTREMELY sultry dance routine with
This has to be Guys and Dolls, right?
Nah, it's neither of these. Let me sleep on it.
That Bandwagon clip was very interesting... I've never seen that before. It's quite stunning. But it was wholly different in style from that typical staged routine. It was a sound stage, but it was performed like a stage play... it was like two people in love... or lust.
I dont think it was cyd charisse... I know how famous she was for her sultry dance routines.. but it was someone that I had know from another roll.. like Brady bunch or partridge family, and I know thise two women are famous for their early careers. I am not sure it was Debbie Reynolds or Doris day... but you can see the lady types I am remembering
def not guys and dolls.
fwiw I played sky masterson when I was 15.
I really wanted to play nathan detroit but I was the only guy tall enough to not be towered over by the girl playing my love interest and I was not happy about it.
and this was good 9yrs before I had any idea I was gonna end up a degenerate gambler.
Saw dunes in imax today , first time i saw it in its entirety and while i wasnt a huge huge fan of it (i have trouble suspending logic), the imax experience makes movie 5x better to watch.
i don't think i would have been able to enjoy it nearly as much as i did if it was a regular tv
also the theater was 99% packed which is kinda crazy for movie that was released 2 years ago and the last movie i saw last night had 3 people including me and my girl , total.
mschu
finally got around to watching that short film about the old folksy guy
i liked, the people behind making it are clearly talented writing, storytelling, & and just putting it all together
