Go for it Norfy! Although, bearing in mind Flay is in the Highlands & Islands, Caliban is in Paris (did he go over for the Francois Hollande bash?), others are working all day, please don't be disappointed if your question is left hanging for a while ........ I'll be back on line late morning though!
OK, folks, here's your 'F':
The first played an actor in a 1960s musical;
The second played himself in a Martin Scorsese film;
The third was a guest star in an MGM musical; and
The fourth played saxophone and other instruments.
Promised clues:
The first F played an actor in the London stage version of a musical.
The star of the MGM musical in which the third F made a guest appearance was Cyd Charisse.
The fourth F was born in the Prairie State.
Norfy, I'm really struggling with this, Hollywood movies and musicals are out of my comfort zone. I've been hoping mercia (where are you?) or ferney might be along shortly to help out, but it's an odd time with so many away.
Anyway, I have no idea of the 60s stage musical or the saxophonist at the moment but I offer my (possible?) findings so far, without a lot of confidence:
Frankie Laine - guesting in Meet me in Las Vegas
Frankie Avalon - as himself in Scorsese film Casino
you've done far better than me, Anna
I've found no-one playing themselves in a Scorsese film
I've decided there are far too many musicals starring Cyd Charisse for me to trawl through
ditto 1960s London-staged musicals. with Anna's pointer towards Frankie I offer Frankie Trumbauer as an Illinois-born saxophone player

I haven't got full evidence but I think F is for Fred.
Well i think there was a sax player called Fred Hemke from Milwaukee
The one with Cyd was Fred astaire
That's as far as I've got.
OK, I have to go offline for a while, I think Norfy is also offline, so we are no further forward. I'll look in later to see if you have progressed, and are Right Said Fred!
Frankie Trumbauer, played with Bix Beiderbecke, born in Illinois
Frankie Laine guest-starred in 'Meet Me In Las Vegas'
Frankie Avalon played himself in 'Casino'
And finally.... 'Something for everyone / A comedy tonight'
