elizabeth taylor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'windsors with hollywood star?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'swift to pursue one of the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'the' is 'eth' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
