The Steinettes were an a cappella doo-wop[2] street quartet[5] from Greenwich Village, New York,[1][2] formed in 1978.[3] The group appeared in HealtH[4]{{rp|612}} and Popeye,[4]{{rp|506}} two films from director Robert Altman that saw release in the early 1980s.

Career

Consisting of four actresses—[3] Julie Janney, Diane Shaffer, Nathalie Blossom and Patty Katz—[4]{{rp|612}} the Steinettes were formed in 1978 during a production at the Westbeth Theater.[3] Another a cappella group, the Great American Dream, had been formed at this venue.[3] Early on in their tenure, the quartet sang for donations at the Sheridan Square in Manhattan's West Village area.[3] Eventually, they also served as a filler act for local comedian Phil Stein,[2] and in 1981, they filled in for Rodney Dangerfield.[6]

The group contributed vocal performances to the score of Robert Altman's HealtH,[4]{{rp|612}} completed in 1979[7] but shelved by 20th Century-Fox for over two years.[8] During the shoot, they were dressed in vegetable outfits.[9] A year later, they also appeared in another Altman production, Popeye.[4]{{rp|506}}

During their existence, the Steinettes appeared in commercials for television and radio, as well as in nightclubs.[10] In 1985, they performed backing vocals on three tracks of a self-titled album by dance artist Robey.[11] One of them was a version of "One Night in Bangkok" from the musical Chess, which peaked at #77 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1985.[12]

Diane Shaffer, one of the Steinettes, became a playwright in 1995 with the religious piece Sacrilege.[5][10][13] Another member, Julie Janney, became an actor by the late 1990s, starring in shows such as Ellen and Another World.[14]
