      Actor is gender neutral. Actress is feminine. Actsman is masculine. This is the new language, learn it and use it.

        I’ve never heard Actsman before but I’ll look into it with a view to using it when appropriate, as it would have been in my previous post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

        I don’t know whether or not the creator of the graphic is using actor as a gender neutral term.

        Edit: googling “actsman” “actor” gives me nothing. Either it’s very new or I’ve just whooshed.

      If you take the gender pay gap that is also very prevalent in Hollywood I’d say “both”.

      You would have to extent the list way further down to find the first actress.
