beauty

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

'cracker' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a tube possibly today's last' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'last' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'today' is 'y'.
'a'+'tube'='atube'
'atube' is an anagram of 'beaut'.
'beaut'+'y'='BEAUTY'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
