* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A 1984 storyline introduced "[[Music/CultureClub Boy Brenda]]," an androgynous pop singer who idolized Brenda Starr so much that he took his stage name from her. One strip even showed Boy Brenda singing a parody of "Karma Chameleon," with altered lyrics about Brenda Starr's work as a writer ("Comma comma comma comma comma quotation mark...").

* LivingProp: Most of the scenes in the newsroom featured a lot of anonymous characters in the background while Brenda was the center of attention. For several years, Dale Messick included in background panels a female staffer with a distinctive topknot and glasses, but this character was unnamed and had no dialogue. Abruptly, Messick wrote a continuity in which this character -- suddenly identified as Lucy Fixture -- won a fortune in the sweepstakes and had an adventure of her own before vanishing from the strip.

* BishieSparkle: The title character is always drawn with a very subdued version of this effect, even when not in the foreground. It manifests as between one and four six-pointed stars, and is subdued since the stars appear on the character's face and hair rather than in the air around her.

''Brenda Starr'' (full title: ''Brenda Starr, Reporter'') is a comic strip created in 1940 by Dale Messick for the ''Chicago Tribune''. Set in Chicago, it is about the titular glamorous, adventurous reporter.
Initially appearing as a comic book supplement that was included with the Sunday ''Chicago Tribune'', the strip soon appeared in the Sunday paper itself and a daily strip was added in 1945. Following Messick's retirement as ''Brenda Starr'''s artist in 1980, she continued scripting it for two more years with a separate illustrator, after which it was continued by different female writer and illustrator teams before the final strip was published on January 2, 2011.
There have been several live-action adaptations of the strip, included a 1945 film serial and [[Film/BrendaStarr a film released in 1989]] with Brooke Shields as Brenda.
