A bronze for this much-loved actress simply inscribed? (5)
I believe the answer is:
third
This might be a double definition.
'a bronze' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'this much-loved actress simply inscribed?' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for third that I've seen before include "Tertiary" , "Eroica, Beethoven's - symphony" , "Less than half, rather" , "Bronze medal place" , "Next after second" .)
