"Malcolm X” director (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

'malcolm x director' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "The side that's sheltered from the wind" , "Bruce ___, martial arts ace" , "Robert E. - - , US hero" , "Protection" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
