As a symbol of reference, "star" has appeared in pre-modern society. First it refers to the morning star, then to the stars. It has no metaphorical meaning to famous actors and athletes.

As a modern cultural concept, "star" was first used in the autumn of 1896, when French May Li Ai and Louros founded the film production company.

Its popularity should be the first movie star in the world-Florence Lawrence.
