Crossword Genius

Seen in matinee Dylan's poor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needy

'poor' is the definition.
(I know that needy is a type of poor)

'seen in matinee dylan's' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates a hidden word.
'NEEDY' is hidden within 'matinee dylans'.

(Other definitions for needy that I've seen before include "Impoverished" , "Hard up" , "Craving attention" , "Distressed" , "Poor; wanting affection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
