Ahora todas cantan. Meryl Streep, Minnie Driver, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman... ¡Hasta nuestra Pe cantó con su voz en Nine! Y la que va lanzadísima es Gwyneth Paltrow que nos va a sorprender con un disco cualquier día. Lleva años haciendo sus pinitos. Y últimamente la veo muy centrada en la música. Lo último su aparición en los Grammys con Ce.Lo Green.
ResponderEliminarNo obstante, la mayoría de los buenos actores cantan también perfectamente.
Bueno, cantar debe formar parte de la formación artística de todo buen actor que se precie. Kate es una de mis apreciadas actrices y creo que cantando también es muy buena. A ver si se anima a cantar más... Vigilaremos a la Paltrow...
