Screen hero in Slough works (6)
I believe the answer is:
bogart
'screen hero' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'slough works' is the wordplay.
'slough' becomes 'bog' (both can mean a swampy area).
'works' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'bog'+'art'='BOGART'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bogart that I've seen before include "Lauren Bacall's first actor husband, d. 1957" , "Humphrey --, US film actor" , "See 12" , "Rob gat from the old film star" , "Famous player" .)
