Henry Daniell John Carradine Jerome Cowan Phyllis Brooks Bonita Granville Lauritz Melchior Lynne Overman Ned Sparks Nat Pendleton Helen Westley Thanks. I will go back and add Bonita Granville, Phyllis Brooks and John Carradine. I am not sure if the others had lead or second lead roles...but I will go through their filmographies this weekend to check/verify.
I think Lauritz Melchior was usually in support of bigger musical stars like Esther Williams, Jane Powell and Rosemary Clooney. He did speciality numbers and none of the films were specifically built around his talents. Helen Westley was usually support...but there may be some early film appearances where she had more prominent billing.

I forgot one name in that list and it was Ethel Merman. I think she definitely qualifies.
