The term "cult film star" has been employed, and used as a
common-sense term, in publicity and popular journalistic writing
for at least the last twenty-five years. However, what makes cult
film stars or actors distinct or different from other film stars
has rarely been addressed, with the cult star label often being
attributed to particular stars or actors in an imprecise way. This
edited collection provides a much-needed overview of the variety of
processes through which film stars and actors become associated
with the cult label. It brings together chapters from an
international group of scholars which focus on a wide range of cult
stars and actors, from Montgomery Clift and Bill Murray to Ruth
Gordon and Ingrid Pitt. The collection makes important, previously
under-explored, connections between two key disciplines within film
and media studies: stardom/celebrity studies and cult film studies.
