I agree with what is above,

In addition, as you said, an A list actor's name comes before the title in the opening credits. Usually the film is advertised as, so and so in.... An A list actor chooses which movies will be a good vehicle for his or her career.

An A list musician is a person that sells out stadiums consistently. If they are in a band, just as many people must know their name as the band's name - Mick Jagger, Bono etc.

For politicians it is just anyone most Americans know their name. But remember, most Americans don't know who Dick Cheney is.

I would also put as an A celebrity anyone the Paparazzi covers twenty four seven. So I would put Paris Hilton as an A List Celeberty. Also Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan. They are not A list actors, but A list celebrities. Princess Diana was an A list Celebrity. So is Donal Trump.

An A list sports star is anyone who is known nationally and is usually recognized by more people than their sports team. Many people were not aware of the Chicago Bulls, but most people knew Michael Jordan. I think Tiger Woods is the first A list golfer.

I would put as B list anyone that is not A list but whose name is recognized by most people in the country and is currently working.

C list would be has beens who most people recognize (Jacklyn Smith), or people that are currently working but only one section of the population recognizes them. But in that section they are big. Soap Stars, Professionnal Wrestlers etc.

D list is anyone whose career is of and on and they and are mostly recognized by a certain section of the population.

Is the Pope an A-lister?

What about Saddam Hussein? Gerald Ford? (And if so, isn't he the first A-list golfer?)
