Heavenly actress, perhaps (4)
I believe the answer is:
star
'heavenly actress' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'actress' relates to this answer.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Leading actor in a show" , "Rush" , "appear above others?" , "Five- or six-pointed figure" , "Celeb" .)
