"...most intelligent actors [Hitchcock] had worked with."
I can't decide whether this should be changed to "Actress" or not. On the one hand, the subject uses "actress" in quotations, "actress" is a common gendered term, and I find "actor" jarring here after so many instances of "actress," so per MOS:GNL, it would seem that it should be changed. On the other hand, it isn't obvious that "actress" is the correct word. The source uses "actor", so maybe it meant that Hitchcock thought Wright was sharper than most of the men, as well as most of the women. I doubt this because the Guardian Style Guide [1] says to use "actor" here, and the source sentence goes on to restrict it to females ("...her vivacity and warmth, not epithets generally associated with Hitch's heroines"), although this is not necessarily the same point. That is, the author could mean "Wright was smarter, etc. than most male & female actors Hitchcock used, and this was not common among other female actors he used, although it may have been common among male actors" (hold Bell Curve jokes, please). Any opinions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dingsuntil (talk • contribs) 18:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
