Music has existed ever since films were made. In the silent movie era, filmmakers and viewers had to settle for a dramatic piano to underline the scenes. Later it was contractually stipulated that the screen heroes should sing in their films. Even when they couldn't do it well. Nowadays, there are hardly any films in which people sing. If so, they are called »musical films«. Sometimes they even win Oscars. That's probably why I'm still surprised that many screen stars have a second job or at least a lifelong passion in addition to their main gig. Often, it is music. But why? Actors should live and be emphatic for their profession. Of course, this plays into the hands of music as well. Art related to one's voice has always been en vogue.
