Marilyn Monroe???

I think this could use some updating - there is some good material from the heyday of the star system, but the chronology is confusing - between Mary Pickford and Marilyn Monroe some stuff happened, and between Marilyn Monroe and now, a lot more happened to the "movie star." Me not an expert, though.

This is somewhat POV

Some of the downsides to being a movie star include self-centeredness and arrogance. Oftentimes, some stars are very bossy and vain.

While I think this is quite true, I also think, by article-writing standards, it's also somewhat non-neutral and POV. Any suggestions to improve this section? --I am not good at running 23:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)shut the fuck up no it all god danm it[reply]

Singing in the Rain

I remember the scene in Singing in the Rain where Lina quotes the article, saying that she is "A glimmering star in the cinema firmament." Is this concept (obviously around decades before Singing) to be related to the origin of the term? I'd like to see a citation on that Nyttend 19:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
