Actress Russell (8)
I believe the answer is:
rosalind
'actress russell' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rosalind that I've seen before include "No jewel is like her (AYLI)" , "As You Like It heroine" , "Girl" , "Role in As You Like It" , "Female character in As You Like It" .)
