Regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Miley_Cyrus&diff=next&oldid=404076713 this edit], I just thought I'd point out that [[Actor#Terminology|actor]] is gender neutral; it refers to both males and females so there's really no need to change actor to actress.

Actor vs actress

Regarding this edit, I just thought I'd point out that actor is gender neutral; it refers to both males and females so there's really no need to change actor to actress. Actress is actually a redirect to Actor. --AussieLegend (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
