    Reveal: There are 6 well-known Misses in the grid: 11A PIGGY, 24A MANNERS (famous etiquette columnist), 26A KITTY ("Gunsmoke" role), 29A ELLIE ("Dallas" role), 32A AMERICA, 47A DAISY (movie role). If you take the first letters of the clues for these entries, they spell MARPLE (Agatha Christie character MISS MARPLE).

      Your "miss" was a "hit" with me! Loved it. :D
      • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-08-01T23:36:19.632Z
        Haha! Thanks Darth!

        Oddly, the key for me was 1A, because I knew you couldn't resist sticking a pun in.
        • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-08-02T01:04:22.933Z
          Ha! Glad you caught it!
        • kurtalert 🤓3:21 · 2024-08-02T17:46:14.967Z
          Very nice! Caught on to this one quickly once the grid was filled.

            Thanks Kurt!
