'movie star' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'aussie criminal's after favour' is the wordplay.
'aussie criminal' becomes 'kelly' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'favour' becomes 'grace' (synonyms).
'kelly' after 'grace' is 'GRACE KELLY'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for grace kelly that I've seen is " movie star".)
