Film star born in hurricane (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gable

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

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

'born in hurricane' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'b'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'hurricane' becomes 'gale' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'b' inserted inside 'gale' is 'GABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "Part of house" , "screen legend" , "Triangular part of a wall supporting a ridged roof" , "Roof structure" , "Triangular upper part of a wall under a roof" .)
