In an excess of purported equality, some Hollywood actresses want to be called "actors." How sad and self-defeating. Doesn't opting for the male-designated noun, actor, imply superiority of that male form? If not, why not seek equality by extending the female form -- actress -- to actors; e.g., "Actress Tom Cruise". That would assert the prominence of the female-designated noun.
