The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television.

Backed by an eight-piece band, this love child of music royalty Diana Ross and Berry Gordy returns to the Iridium Sunday night to perform her own songs, an amalgam of R&B, funk and jazz she calls “music of the African diaspora.” ‘ I FEEL I’M FINDING MY VOICE AND MY PURPOSE, AND THE MUSIC I REALLY WANT TO SHARE. ’  - Rhonda Ross But some may recall a 7- or 8-year-old Rhonda who, from the audience at Caesar’s Palace, sang “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand)” as her Supreme mother held the mic. These days, Raif, Rhonda’s 5-year-old son (with her pianist husband Rodney Kendrick), is likely to get onstage and bust some dance moves during her own set. “It’s like a R

MEET DIANA ROSS’ SISTER, GROUNDBREAKING DOCTOR BARBARA ROSS-LEE

When you think of Diana Ross, you may think of the talented singer, the lead singer of the legendary singing group, The Supremes. Or you may even think of her talented daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross. But the talent doesn’t just stop there.  There was another member of the family who is also legendary, but just in another field: Medicine. Growing up in inner-city Detroit,  Barbara Ross-Lee  and her sister Diana shared a fondness for show business, performing with their brothers and sisters in the church choir. But while Diana pursued a career in music and soon to being the lead singer of the “Supremes,” Barbara made her mark in the sciences. Barbara began her pre-medical studies at Detroit’s Wayne State University in 1960, during the growth of the Civil Rights movement. Although a few medical schools offered admission to minority students there were no federal or private funding to help support students from poor families. At Wayne State,  her pre-med advisor did not belie
