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

'classic actress' is the definition.
'bernhardt' can be an answer for 'actress' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'classic' bit.

'her brand sorted on time' is the wordplay.
'sorted' indicates an anagram.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'her'+'brand'='herbrand'
'herbrand' is an anagram of 'bernhard'.
'bernhard'+'t'='BERNHARDT'

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
