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

-
Image
“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.

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
