Adjusting jeans made for film star (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

james dean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film star' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'adjusting jeans made' is the wordplay.
'adjusting' indicates an anagram.
'jeans'+'made'='jeansmade'
'jeansmade' is an anagram of 'JAMES DEAN'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for james dean that I've seen before include "Teenage player" , "Film actor (1931-55)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
