'film star' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'southern skyscape is fantastic' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'fantastic' indicates anagramming the letters (a fantastic or improbable ordering of the letters).
'skyscape'+'is'='skyscapeis'
'skyscapeis' with letters rearranged gives 'issyspacek'.
's'+'issyspacek'='SISSY SPACEK'

'for' acts as a link.
