Ms Gardner and sailor in film (6)
I believe the answer is:
avatar
'film' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ms gardner and sailor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'gardner' could be 'ava' (actress Ava Gardner) and 'ava' is located in the answer.
'sailor' could be 'tar' (tar can mean a sailor) and 'tar' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avatar that I've seen before include "Divine appearance" , "heavenly body!)" , "Graphic" , "Incarnation of a Hindu deity in human or animal form" , "Cyberspace person's image" .)
