Gloria Stuart, the actress who gained fame as the old Rose in "Titanic" comes to mind. She was a very talented painter and screenprinter and produced various pieces of art, but was never known for them. Who else?
Great visual artists who were famous for other things

Crazy to think that before this noted painter found his calling he was president of the United States.

OP, is that a Gloria Stuart print of the Watts Towers? It’s extraordinary.

Yes R2, it is of the Watts Towers. I believe she did a few of them, but I've only ever seen this one. It's truly amazing.

Here is another one she made of the Watts Towers, this one with a kite. Very beautiful. I believe LACMA owns a bunch of her work.

Nonetheless, we still hate her because of how she said "Ahhh!" when she threw that goddamned necklace back.
