'Dame', or possibly Dane (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edna

'dame' is the definition.
(comedy character Dame Edna Everage)

'possibly dane' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'dane' anagrammed gives 'EDNA'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for edna that I've seen before include "Famous dame" , "Female name" , "Dean (anag) - it's a girl's name!" , "Girl for Dane" , ". . . . O'Brien, ... Saint Vincent Millay" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
