Actress ____ Bancroft (4)
I believe the answer is:
anne
'actress bancroft' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "The Princess Royal" , "Stuart queen" , "Name of dead queen!" , "- of Green Gables (children's classic)" , "First name of two of Henry VIII's wives" .)
