Lead performer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

star

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lead performer</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(eg the star of a film)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for star that I've seen before include "Sirius, eg" , "A heavenly body or film favourite" , "Famous performer" , "Polaris, for example" , "Symbol of excellence" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Newsday, the Universal, The Times and the Newsday.com.
