In the 1999 film "The Thomas Crown Affair," the blond younger girl is played by actress Rene Russo, who portrays Catherine Banning, an insurance investigator who becomes romantically involved with the titular character, Thomas Crown, played by Pierce Brosnan. Russo's character is intelligent, savvy, and instrumental in the plot surrounding the art heist. If you meant the original 1968 film, the blond younger girl would be Faye Dunaway, who played the role of Vicki Anderson.
I belive it was Al Stewart, a singer-songwriter known for his story-telling (Russians and Americans) and great music. Definitely not Al Stewart.

It was released in 1968 as the theme from "The Thomas Crown Affair," and it won an Oscar.
