Yeah, it’s another lame “answer a trivia question, and you get to post your own question” thread (in this case, hopefully it will be limited to movies).
Other than “Being John Malkovich”, name another movie in which a starring actor is named in the title of the movie in which he is starring in.

Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand in Fatty and Mabel Adrift .
OK . . . Something you can’t look up on IMDB . . . Hmmm . . . What was Jean Harlow’s first talkie? In which she actually spoke , I mean?
“Anne of Green Gables” (1934), starring Anne Shirely as Anne Shirley.
I was actually hoping for a full name in the title, but that’s okay. (Does anyone know of another such movie?)
Stephen King had a small (but bigger than a cameo) role in Stephen King’s The Stand . It was a miniseries though.
I can think of plenty. For starters…
Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Abbot & Costello Meet the Mummy
Abbot & Costello Meet the Invisible Man…
And while she didn’t “star” in the movie, didn’t Julie Newmar appear in “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar”?
“The Bob Matthias Story” starring Bob Matthias
“The Jackie Robinson Story” starring Jackie Robinson
The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield

I’ll take a guess: was it Hell’s Angels ? (“Would you be shocked if I changed into something more comfortable?”)

Oh, well. I suspected it was probably too obvious an answer.
Was it the Clara Bow vehicle, The Saturday Night Kid ?
Oh, I forgot, here’s a new question: Name the two movies in which Fred Astaire’s character dies.

Yep! She’d been an extra in a few talkies, but that was the first in which she actually had dialogue.
