Actress Kendrick or author Quindlen (4)
I believe the answer is:
anna
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'actress kendrick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'author quindlen' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for anna that I've seen before include "Girl - old Indian coin" , "Former one sixteenth of Rupee" , "The name's the same,either way" , "Dame -- Neagle" , "Massey, Sewell or Karenina" .)
