The ruggedly handsome actor and singer Howard Keel (1919-2004) began his Broadway stage career with leading roles in not one but two musicals concurrently: Oklahoma! and Carousel (as understudy for John Raitt). On occasion, he performed the unprecedented feat of playing both roles in a single day! In Hollywood, Keel starred in a slew of legendary musical films, including Annie Get Your Gun, Kiss Me, Kate, Calamity Jane, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Rose Marie, and Kismet.
