The Appearance and Development of the Star System in the American Society and its Subsequent Image in the Romanian Society

Abstract

The paper aims to clarify as much as possible the significance of the “star system” concept. It is noteworthy that, in the contemporary media society, generalization of the concept has led to the distortion of its explicative field. Subsequently, I brought to attention the Hollywood entertainment industry which has always been a volatile and unpredictable business. Despite all these facts, the sociology of the star system has known an unprecedented development in our country.
