The far reaching consequences of convective overshooting during the core H and He-burning phases of stars in the mass range 1.3 M⊙ to 100 M⊙ are discussed. In addition to this, the effects of mass loss in luminous stars of all spectral types, and in the red giant and asymptotic giant branch stars are briefly outlined. Furthermore, the effects of the novel 12C(α γ)16O reaction rate are also illustrated. The main purpose of this review resides however in lending convincing support to the idea that convective cores of real stars are greater than commonly supposed in classic models. To this aim, several observational embarrassments that could not be explained by classic models are reanalyzed in the light of the new ones. Since a much better agreement between theory and observations is now possible, we are inclined to conclude that convective overshooting may be of paramount importance in stellar structure theories and that convective cores in real stars ought to be larger by approximately one pressure scale height than predicted by classic models.
