Female performer gets agent (6)
I believe the answer is:
factor
'agent' is the definition.
(business term for a representative)
'female performer' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'performer' becomes 'actor' (actor is a kind of performer).
'f'+'actor'='FACTOR'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for factor that I've seen before include "One of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another" , "Scottish estate manager" , "Piece of information or element to be taken into account" , "One circumstance that contributes to a result" , "Influencing circumstance" .)
