American visiting The Ritz all obey — volatile player? (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
elizabeth taylor
'player?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'american visiting the ritz all obey volatile' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'visiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'volatile' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'ritz'+'all'+'obey'='theritzallobey'
'theritzallobey' is an anagram of 'elizbethtaylor'.
'a' inserted inside 'elizbethtaylor' is 'ELIZABETH TAYLOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elizabeth taylor that I've seen before include "Eight times married British-American actress, d. 2011" , "Hollywood actress" .)
