Life of a celebrity that's been shot (6)
I believe the answer is:
biopic
'life of a celebrity that's been shot' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'life of a celebrity that's been shot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'life' could be 'bio' (life can mean a biography) and 'bio' is located in the answer.
'shot' could be 'pic' (short for picture) and 'pic' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for biopic that I've seen before include "Biographical film" , "Gandhi, say" , "Film dealing with person's life story" , "Film of a person's life (colloq.)" , "Film of celebrity's life story" .)
