Richard Dyer-Star Theory

• Written extensively about the roles of stars in film, TV & music.
• A star is an image, not a real person that's constructed out of a range of materials.
• Stars are commoditites produced and consumed on the strength of their meanings.
• Stars depend upon a range of subsidiary  media- magazines, TV, radio, the internet- in order to construct image for themselves which can be marketed to their target audiences.
• Star image is made up of a range of meanings which are attractive to the target audiences.
• Star image= INCOHERENT.
