Screen actress in minor role many condemned (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marilyn monroe

'screen actress' is the definition.
(film actress)

'minor role many condemned' is the wordplay.
'condemned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'minor'+'role'+'many'='minorrolemany'
'minorrolemany' anagrammed gives 'MARILYN MONROE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marilyn monroe that I've seen before include "Norma Jean Baker" , "US actress - Norma in my role! (anag)" , "1956 Bus Stop star" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
