I believe the answer is:

bacall

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
