1$\begingroup$ I think it's clear enough to people who know Cryptics. Unfortunately, this is a clue that's vague enough that I'd probably need to cross some letters in order to figure it out, and I don't really have that option here. $\endgroup$– Bailey MApr 22, 2015 at 13:16

The answer is
Erin Gray
because apparently
she starred in a Buck Rogers TV series long ago. I'd never heard of it before, but the Buck star part gave it away. (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
And her name is an anagram of "Y EARRING", as I'm sure you already realised.

$\begingroup$ Ahhhh. I had the anagram part down, but I've never heard of the show... $\endgroup$– Bailey MApr 22, 2015 at 13:46

$\begingroup$ How have none of you heard of Buck Rogers? I wasn't even born yet, but I know about it because Daffy Duck used to be featured in Duck Rogers shorts on Looney Tunes. Come on, guys! $\endgroup$ Apr 22, 2015 at 14:32

$\begingroup$ @IanMacDonald I think we've all heard of Buck Rogers. I was referring to the TV show that ran for 2 series about 35 years ago. $\endgroup$– r3mainerApr 22, 2015 at 14:54
