Actress makes a graduate shout (6)
I believe the answer is:
bacall
'actress' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a graduate shout' is the wordplay.
'a graduate' becomes 'BA' (someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree).
'shout' becomes 'call' (synonyms).
'ba'+'call'='BACALL'
'makes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bacall that I've seen before include "Lauren --, US actress" , "Lauren -, The Big Sleep actress" .)
