Actress is actually a redirect to Actor. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC) While it's true, I can't find another Wikipedia page that calls a female an actor. Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, and Catherine Deneuve are all "actresses" so let's be consistent. DC 05:18, 26 December 2010 (UTC) I've generally found that the problem is editors not realising that actor is gender neutral. Consistency is fine but we don't need to follow the sheep. --AussieLegend (talk) 05:30, 26 December 2010 (UTC) Well I'll revisit my position once the Academy changes their award for Academy Award for Best Actress to a gender-neutral term.
