'actress' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'retired to direct remote series' is the wordplay.
'retired' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to direct' becomes 'aim' ('aim' can be a synonym of 'direct').
'remote' becomes 'far' ('far' can be a synonym of 'remote').
'series' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'aim' written backwards gives 'mia'.
'mia'+'far'+'row'='MIA FARROW'
