Meghan, why is she an Actress, not an Actor?


Recommended Posts

Why is it that all the females in the theatre, film and other acting professions are all now called Actors but every time Megan Markle is mentioned on the TV news or in the newspaper she's afforded the title Actress, why? This is a them and us scenario or is it she's not called an Actor because it may be thought Harry's going to marry a man. To me a women is an Actress and a man is an Actor.

'Oscars' are awarded to Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.

 

'Baftas' are awarded for Leading Actress and Supporting Actress.

 

'Golden Globes' are awarded to The Best Performance by an Actress .....

 

That's because it separates the men from the women for awards, now despite the awards they are all called actors irrespective of gender. Simples!
