Ah, everybody wanna pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars

To believe, to believe

Stardom is just such an access point. It is here we meet, non-reciprocally, the 'faces' who help us to form our social and personal identities.
STEPHEN HINERMAN
"Star Culture", Culture in the Communication Age

PAUL MCDONALD
Hollywood Stardom
Stardom is a complex signifying system overlaid onto the identity of an actual person and is a product of mass media circuits in which everything that is said or written about a given public person produces a mediated persona that seems real, that seems connected to an actual historical person, but which is actually a tissue of discourse and images.
