I believe it's Harold Russell, who won his Oscars for his performance in The Best Years of Our Lives.

Another fun parody is that of Al Jolson in a 1930's cartoon. A young owl, named... wait for it... "OWL" JOLSON, takes up crooning, much to the chagrin of his parents and siblings who are into classical music. Owl ends up on an amateur hour radio contest hosted by Jack Bunny (lol) and sings his favorite song-- "I Love to Singa."
I love to sing-a
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a
I love to sing-a
About a sky of blue-a or a tea for two-a
Anything-a with a swing-a to an "I love you-a"
I love to, I love to sing!
This is one of my favorites, too. The little owl was so cute. I found out that the boy who voiced "Owl" Jolson was Tommy Bond, who played "Butch" in the Our Gang (aka Little Rascals) films.

Thanks Tom! I guess Bugs was a manicurist not hairdresser, for some reason, I thought I remembered Bugs combing Gossamer's fur.
Speedracer, you may be thinking about a cartoon called "Water, Water Every Hare". It is very similar to "Hair-Raising Hare". Here's a video clip of the hairdressing scene:

Bojangles is not just the King of TAP; he's the Godfather of all tap dancers. He starred in 1943 in Stormy Weather with Lena Horne, which was a thinly veiled account of his life.
The Nicholas Brothers stopped the show with the Jumpin Jive, which was sung and accompanied by Cab Calloway and his orchestra.
Well done, Princess! You got them all correct. The thread's all yours.

I love the one where Bugs Bunny is kidnapped by a Peter Lorre-like mad scientist who wants to feed Bugs to his monster Gossamer. My favorite part is when Bugs pretends to be a hairdresser.
I like all of the cartoons that you mentioned, but this one is definitely one of my favorites. I love the "monster manicure" scene, too. Here's a clip of that scene:

Thanks, Kid. I'm going to leave this thread open.

Thanks, Miles.
Next: This 1940s musical was based on the life of a well-known dancer (who also happens to be the star of the film). This dancer has been an inspiration for many dancers, including Sammy Davis Jr. and Ann Miller. Please name the musical and the dancer.
Bonus points: In this same 1940s musical, a well-known dancing duo practically stole the movie with a show-stopping dance number. A popular singer and his band accompanied them as they danced. Please name the dancing duo, the song that they danced to, and the singer whose orchestra accompanied them.

It is the song "Happy Feet", which shares the same title as an animated film from 2006? Bing Crosby sang this when he was still a part of a group called The Rhythm Boys (a group called The Sisters G. sang with them.) The movie that Bing sang the song in was King of Jazz (1930).
