Is there any generally accepted criteria as to what qualifies a celebrity as an “A-Lister?” Some stars are obvious: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ewan McGregor. But at what point does a stars’ career fade enough to count as B-list?
I guess not.
When people say, “X? Who’s that?”
It’s part of the life cycle of a Hollywood star:
- Who’s John Smith?
- Get me John Smith.
- Get me a John Smith type.
- Get me a young John Smith.
- Who’s John Smith?
Once you pass number 4, you’re on the B list.
