Are you going for mixt?
I've certainly heard of Alan Ladd, though I couldn't name a single film of his off the top of my head, and I never would have been able to solve this without a lot of help.
This could go in the strange Wikipedia entries, just for the odd wording:
As with many Hollywood stars, Ladd is sometimes described as either a social adherent to, or member of, the gay subculture.[15]

mixt, yes. it's a word! who knew?
(contemporary might be pushing it though, earlier generation)

oof. that's like you're double encrypting something. is a step too far.
― koogs, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 12:57 (thirteen years ago)
ah, gabber. yeah indirect anagrams are a big no-no, shame as it's a really nice surface.
― itt: 'splaining men (ledge), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 12:59 (thirteen years ago)
(fyi it's just considered unfair to expect the solver to guess a synonym and then anagrammise it.)
