Her music led to acting

As well as singing, Cyndi can also turn her hand to acting.

She has starred in several Hollywood films, including the 1988 comedy adventure 'Vibes' as trance-medium Sylvia Pickel.

The film's plot sees her and equally odd psychic pal Nick, played by Jeff Goldblum, go on a trip into the Ecuadorian Andes to "find the source of psychic energy".

In the 2011 comedy drama 'National Lampoon's Dirty Movie', she played Little Johnny's mother. The movie sees Charlie LaRue, Christopher Meloni, 63, an outrageous cut-rate producer make a film about the most offensive jokes ever.

She has also been in numerous TV shows, such as 'Mad About You', where she won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 1995, playing Marianne Lugasso.
