"Sophie's Choice” star (6)
I believe the answer is:
streep
'sophie's choice star' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for streep that I've seen before include "See 4 Down" , "Meryl - - (films)" , "[Thespian]" , "Film star in The Iron Lady, b. 1949" , "Inflamed swelling inside" .)
