A star turn in a star turn (7)
I believe the answer is:
sinatra
'a star turn' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'in a star turn' is the wordplay.
'turn' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'a'+'star'='inastar'
'inastar' with letters rearranged gives 'SINATRA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sinatra that I've seen before include "Francis Albert, mourned singer" , "Frank . . . . . . ., late great popular singer" , "'Old Blue Eyes'" , "'Ol' Blue Eyes'" , "Something of a strain for top crooner" .)
