This list shows the highest grossing stars of 1984 based on the domestic box office of the movies they had a leading role in in 1984 and the two preceeding years (voice-only roles excluded).
The Star Score in this list represent points assigned to each of the leading stars of top 100 (based on domestic box office) movies in the current year and two preceding years.
