[edit] Actor? Actress?

I thought I'd place something here rather than change it back to read "actor". Perhaps people can say what they think is best. I will go first, then. I think it should say "actor" because there isn't any advantage for it to say "actress". Also, I remember reading something about "actor"s being people who play serious roles, with an "actress" being somebody who takes on lighter parts, regardless of being male or female.

[edit] Re: Image

I'll reply here regarding the conflict of image use in this article. The screenshot of Whitney Dean is used in the Whitney Dean article correctly, it's rationale states that although it's not a free image, it's believed to be used under Wikipedia's fair use policy as it illustrates the subject of the article, it's low resolution, can't be used to make profit and it's pretty much impossible to find a free alternative. That rationale only covers the article for Whitney Dean. You can't use the same rationale to use the same image in this article because it deosn't directly illustrate the subject, (she wouldn't appear like that in real life) and it's not impossible to find a free alternative. Somebody somewhere must have taken a picture of her who can upload it as a public domain image. I hope this answers the question. For further information on this topic go to WP:IUP and WP:NFC.
