It includes a special issue of the Screen Stars Dictionary, *“Aging Stars – Fading to Dust or Shining as Stardust?”*, curated by Barbara Zecchi, along with our regular editors Ariel and Vicente. It explores the paradox of the intersection of age with stardom: actors are immortalized on screen, yet their bodies are subject to time. Aging stars embody this tension, facing both the camera’s relentless gaze and cultural pressures to defy age. In a media landscape dominated by the cult of youth, especially in Hollywood and the Global North, aging is often framed as decline—something to resist, hide, or erase. Yet, as this issue shows, aging can also be a space for resistance, transformation, and reinvention.

Seven entries are included on Javier Bardem (Vicente Rodríguez Ortega), Seizo Fukumoto (Lindsay Nelson), Jessica Lange (Flavia Soubiran), Diana Ross (Jaap Kooijman), Barbara Zecchi (Isabella Rossellini), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Daniel O’Brien) and Ana Torrent (Celia Sainz). Together, these entries complicate the binary of fading or shining, revealing aging stardom as a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that resists simple scripts.
