Hollywood talent promotion

A star system is a star together with any celestial bodies gravitationally bound to it—planets, moons, asteroids, comets.

Our solar system is one such star system.

In entertainment, the star system refers to the Hollywood practice of building films around marquee names, promoting actors as celebrities whose presence alone draws audiences: The old star system created legends like Gable and Monroe.
