"Actor" and "actress" have always been, technically, genderless terms.
An actor is a professional; a actress is like an apprentice learning to
be an actor. Maybe "always" is a bit too strong a term, but it does go
back at least as far as Shakespeare's time, back when women weren't
allowed on stage; then it was impossible for "actress" to be a feminine
term as there were no female actors or actresses.
