Last one......
56ac. "Backed heartless beauty entering in case made famous" (10).
Clearly, the answer is CELEBRATED - but I simply can't see the wordplay.
Explanations appreciated....

Heartless beauty is 'bele'(belle)
In case is 'crated'
Backing refers to 'bele' going backwards, I think!

Thank you both!
I'd seen "crated" for "in case" but hadn't translated "beauty" into "belle".
Off to the post....!!
