Guess Who #1

This puzzle is the first in a new series, and it relates to a specific someone—can you use the seven themed answers to figure out who before the grid spells out the answer at 15a?

Liari (a cryptic setter and streamer herself) requested this puzzle via my stream—and was the first to do so! She let me pick the subject, and it remains to be seen whether she will guess who it is...

Many thanks to skaldskaparmal (also a cryptic setter) for a test solve that improved a number of clues!

Thanks to Lila and Joe for letting me hang and share my ideas but mostly just spam them with stupid emojis that had no relevance to our puzzle.
