A movie star (also known as a film star and cinema star) is a celebrity who is well-known, or famous, for his or her starring, or leading, roles in motion pictures. The term may also apply to an actor or actress who is recognized as a marketable commodity and whose name is used to promote a movie in trailers and posters. The most widely known, prominent or successful actors are sometimes called “superstars” by writers and journalists. When a small number of suppliers dominate a market those suppliers become superstars. According to an online dictionary, a movie star is an actor or actress who is famous for playing leading roles in movies.
In the early days of silent movies, the names of the actors and actresses appearing in them were not publicized or credited because producers feared this would result in demands for higher salaries. However, audience curiosity soon undermined this policy. By 1909, actresses such as Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford were already widely recognized, although the public remained unaware of their names. Lawrence was referred to as the “Biograph Girl” because she worked for D. W. Griffith's Biograph Studios, while Pickford was "Little Mary." In 1910, Lawrence switched to the Independent Moving Pictures Company, began appearing under her own name, and was hailed as "America's foremost moving picture star" in IMP literature. Pickford began appearing under her own name in 1911.

Genres: Action, Adventure, Crime, Drama,Shut me up with your long tube socks
They don't scream hey, let's just be friends
Look at both my ink wells brimming
I was much less understanding then
How many stars you think you possess?
How many in your butterfly net?
Build me a star in your forehead
You were so misunderstood back then
But I think I get you now
I think I get you now
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
Don't let the bath water get too high
You will be a flood of porcelain
The lines clawed on the inside
It's digging hard into your tiles
And we're going to flood this house
We're going to flood this house
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
In a stranger's nightmare
This is me starring
