At present, there is no unambiguous definition of the concept of starlet. But what is meant by this word? On the one hand, there is a negative interpretation of this thesis, which states that the starlet is not a talented artist or singer who is trying to break into the world of art. But the word itself is translated into Russian as an “asterisk”, which clearly demonstrates the meaning that was embedded in the definition initially, before it was distorted by the masses. Namely, the starlet is a young movie or pop star who has outstanding data and has every chance of becoming popular and great. This young talent is destined to play one or a whole string of star roles in high-profile films and to be nominated for an Oscar. There is also an alternative opinion that the starlet is not a talented actress at all, but Madame (more precisely, Mademoiselle), who has outstanding external data, for which she receives movie roles. It should be noted that Hollywood cinema is full of stories about girls who fell into the world of show business and forced to learn to live by its cruel rules. In this case, Hollywood starlets are a dead end in the film industry, and sooner or later the wilted beauty will end their career. But it is impossible to say unequivocally that this statement is true. It is worth appreciating the talent of recognized "early stars" in order to draw a certain conclusion on this issue.
The most famous starlets
Leading the list are stars such as Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman. Girls act in films for a long time, Portman at all became popular in 1994 after the release of the film "Leon". To date, they are successful actresses who continue to act in films. Another recognized starlet is Lindsay Lohan. The girl showed herself from childhood, playing in good family comedies and captivating the hearts of the audience with her spontaneity. However, having entered the life of an adult, Lindsay ceased to show her fans the emerging talent and completely “went off the rails”. This is a clear example that the future of starlets is little predictable - a girl may have talent, but not the fact that the star will light up. Two more stars lit up at about the same time as Lohan - these are Olsen twins. There is still an opinion that everyone was attracted not by the beginnings of their talent, but by the fact that the girls were twins. But, of course, this statement is not much like the truth, you just have to watch films with their participation. What happened to these stars? Mary-Kate and Ashley did not leave the world of creativity at all, they only changed their direction, giving preference to design. Today - it is very popular fashion designers and socialite.
What is the prospect?
You can not use this concept unambiguously in a negative way, because real talent does not appear in the terms with which it is called by society. So, what conclusion can be drawn? Obviously, the starlet is a young and very promising star with talent in one or another field of creativity. Early evidence that the girl claims to be a starlet-starlet - a photo where she shows all her charisma. And if she is lucky, then the shooting in the film will be provided. But to say unequivocally that the beginnings of talent in childhood will develop into a serious profession in the future, it is impossible. It depends on the hobbies that will form in the young star, and her desire for success. It's a bitter truth, but starlet in our time is a risky business, young actresses can’t even step outside without makeup and personal stylist’s intervention, they won’t say a word, God forbid, not to talk about something inadmissible. But how else, when millions of contracts or filming in cinema masterpieces are at stake for all time?
