SUPER STAR DEFINITION - By our definition, a "Super Star" is a movie actor or actress who can "open" a movie, someone whose fans rush to see their latest film on opening weekend. They have a proven track record of box office hits. They are frequently household names. It also helps if they have gotten critical acclaim and/or Oscar nominations. A "Super Star" can be identified by his/her first name like "Mel" or Julia" or "Harrison." A "Super Star," whether it's Humphrey Bogart or Tom Cruise, usually plays him/herself in role after role, as opposed to losing themselves in a different screen character, movie after movie.

Tom Hanks is a Super Star. Robert Duvall is not a Super Star, even though he is a brilliant actor and we have listed as a character actor, and as an Award Winnerr, and one of best actors of the last 40 years.
