Celebrity in Nevada city — heartless woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
renown
'celebrity' is the definition.
(I know that celebrity can be written as renown)
'nevada city heartless woman' is the wordplay.
'nevada city' becomes 'reno' (I've seen this in another clue).
'heartless' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'woman' with its middle taken out is 'wn'.
'reno'+'wn'='RENOWN'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for renown that I've seen before include "Good reputation" , "Fame and distinction" , "Fame and eminence" , "Plane's maximum width" , "Fame, respect" .)
