Movie stars break the song barrier

Kate Hudson sang songs from "Annie" around the house as a kid, but she never had a professional singing job until she auditioned for the movie "Nine." She walked in and started a song from the show, "A Call From the Vatican." After her first line, a soaring "Guiiiidoooh," the director, Rob Marshall, stopped her.

"Does anybody know you can sing?" he said.

Hudson blushed. "I don't think so," she replied.

Hudson, who landed the role of Stephanie, is one of many stars to reveal a secret singing talent, as movie musicals have become more popular in recent years. "Nine" is a clown car of bold-faced names -- Hudson, Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and Daniel Day-Lewis in the lead role of the film director, Guido Contini.

This month also saw the opening of "Crazy Heart," in which Jeff Bridges plays an over-the-hill country singer whose protégé is a Nashville superstar played by Colin Farrell. These days, dubbing a performer's singing voice is not as acceptable as it was in the days when Marni Nixon was the singing voice of Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" and Natalie Wood in "West Side Story."

So how do so many actors just happen to be able to carry a tune?
