Hi,

Is it correct to say: Fred Astaire was a 1937 musical star.

If it is could you give me one alternative, please?

Thanks
Alexandro

No, because his stardom was not limited to 1937 and ‘musical star’ is not a good collocation.

Fred Astaire was a star of stage and screen musicals from the 1920s to the 1970s.
