NE room was refurbished for actress (Norma Jean) Mortenson (6)
I believe the answer is:
monroe
'refurbished for actress norma jean mortenson' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'ne room' is the wordplay.
'ne room' anagrams to 'MONROE'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monroe that I've seen before include "No more the blond film star" , "No more the old blond film start" , "5th US president, James" , "President < and film star" , "Marilyn ___ , film icon" .)
