<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">female performer</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for actress that I've seen before include "Recasts (anag) - performer" , "Terry, say" , "dame on stage?" , "eg Emma Thompson" , "One on stage" .)
