Barkin or Burstyn
I believe the answer is:
ellen
'barkin or burstyn' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ellen that I've seen before include "-- DeGeneres, US actress" , "English actress, ____ Terry (1847-1928)" , "It could be Terry" , "Dame - Terry, English actress" , "Dame - - Macarthur (naut.)" .)
