Streams silent movie star (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brooks

This clue is a double definition.

'streams' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'silent movie star' is the second definition.
(Louise Brooks, American silent film actress)

(Other definitions for brooks that I've seen before include "Small streams of water" , "Countenances" , "Former editor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
