Earliest born movie star[edit]
Who was the earliest born movie star? VRtrooper (talk) 07:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- The answer would be Sarah Bernhardt. A movie star is usually a person who has received a credited starring role in a movie, and Sarah Bernhardt is the earliest born person to receive a credited starring role in a movie. Ebaillargeon82 (talk) 07:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Resolved- While strictly correct, Florence Lawrence is often cited as the first (not first born) "movie star". --Jayron32 08:41, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- That should have been Esau Lawrence, but he signed away his rights, so his little sister got all the credit. Yeah, that's it. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:58, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
