"Actor" is a English word that is still marked when the occupation refers to women's work. Thus "actor" as a generic (i.e., gender-neutral category is belied by the common use of the word "actress", and, reciprocically, women who act are made invisible by use of the word "actor" as a specific term referring to male actors.
