Stars and Celebrities

'A star is a performer in a particular medium whose figure enters in to subsidiary forms of circulation and then feeds back in to future performances' - John Ellis (1992)

'Economically stardom is a patent on a unique set of human charcteristics.....[which] include purely physical aspects'. - Justin Wyatt (1994)

'The celebrity is a voice above all others, a voice that is channeled in to the media system as being legitimately significant' - Langer (1998)
