This version lines up with the timestamps the OP referenced. I tried listening to a lot of Paul Whiteman recordings online a few days ago, but have yet to find a match for the music after 20:45. The somewhat atypical instrumentation (which incorporates a piano duo, saxophone, and xylophone) might help you locate it, if you can find a personnel breakdown for his recordings anywhere. (That is, assuming it still is the Paul Whiteman orchestra at that point...but that does seem likely, since it sounds as though someone just plunked down a Whiteman CD and let it play one track after another, to create their "score".)

There may be hundreds of examples, although so far I've only come up with around 80. (I created a thread called "The First Shall Be Last" on a similar theme a few weeks ago, but it seems to have died a natural death already!)
For male actors, the most famous cases are probably John Wayne, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Kirk Douglas, James Stewart and James Dean. (Also anyone whose last name is Howard, Marshall, Mitchell, Montgomery, or Taylor.) To avoid hogging the thread I'll save some less obvious examples for a later post, in case no one else mentions them.
In the meantime, here are some interesting "cross-gender" cases (perhaps not surprisingly, there seem to be many more actresses than actors who fall into this category):
Sylvia Sidney
Gladys George
Gloria Grahame
Rosalind, Jane, and Gail Russell
Katharine Ross
Greer Garson
Jean Kent
Claire Trevor
Lee Grant
Marsha Mason
Ann Todd
Mary Martin
Ruth Roland
Mae Murray
Kim Hunter
Kay Francis
Danny Kaye
Thomas Jane

Thanks, Swithin--I'll try to have an upcoming clue already "in the pipeline" before answering next time. :-)
Next: this acclaimed actress was trained as a ballet dancer and famously appeared nude in one of her later films.
Her first husband was a highly decorated fighter pilot in WWII, who later became a film and television executive.
Her second husband was a well-known author and screenwriter (including film adaptations of two Hemingway novels), whose mother had also been an actress and screenwriter. He is often credited with starting Europe's first surfing club, and was reportedly the inspiration for one of Robert Redford's iconic film roles. He died just three weeks after the actress in question.
Name the actress, her two husbands, and the film in which she appeared nude.

In addition, you mentioned Steve Martin. I think it's imlplied that he dies at the end of PENNIES FROM HEAVEN (by hanging), another of my favorite films
Yes, I haven't seen it in many years, but my recollection is there's a sort of Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge-like "happy ending" afterwards, which we're meant to assume is all in his head.

Rupert Graves -- an under-used and very distinctive-looking actor.

Hud (1963)
Being There (1979)
The Changeling (1980)

I think you mean Robert Sterling and Ann Sothern. She appeared in a series of ten enormously popular films as "Maisie," and also was the first to sing the Oscar-winning song "The Last Time I saw Paris" in a film; many still consider hers the definitive version. (The song was not written specifically for the film--it had been published the previous year and sung by others including Kate Smith--which led to a rule change the following year requiring this.) Sothern was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her last film, The Whales of August (1987).
Their daughter was actress Tisha Sterling, who notably (and logically!) played "young Tisha" in The Whales of August (Sothern's character in the film was named Letitia and nicknamed Tisha).
Sterling's second wife was Anne Jeffreys, who appeared with him in the popular Topper television series from 1953 to 1955.

4. Steve McQueen reportedly did all his own motorcycle stunts in the film, except the iconic leap over the barbed-wire fence, which was performed by stuntman Bud Ekins--whom McQueen was always careful to rightly credit in interviews.

Well, I certainly hope you know that simply learning the name of a song doesn't usually get rid of an earworm.
Hey, 20,000 posts! Woohoo!

How about that French actress from "Cat People", Simone Simon? Her name is pronounced See-mone See-mone.
I thought of that, too, but her last name is actually pronounced with a nasalized, silent "n" (roughly: see-MAW). :-)
