Movie star involved in Old West action! (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

clint eastwood

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

'movie star' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'involved in old west action' is the wordplay.
'involved in' indicates an anagram (involved can mean complex or confusing).
'old'+'west'+'action'='oldwestaction'
'oldwestaction' is an anagram of 'CLINT EASTWOOD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clint eastwood that I've seen before include "US actor - Eliot downcast (anag)" , "Old West action (anag) - US film actor and director" .)
