Taylor Lautner is an actor, so he shouldn't be in this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.182.234.208 ( talk • contribs) 23:37:37 23 April 2009
Clearly this is actresses in American films, not actresses of American nationality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.253.46 ( talk • contribs) 09:42:00 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Joan Fontaine and
Olivia de Havilland were not British-born
These women were biological sisters, both born in
Tokyo, JAPAN. Their mother was a
Californian, and their father was a British lawyer from the noted
De Havilland family. (Noted for
aviation more than anything else.)
Their father was working in international law in Japan during their gestation and birth, but some time after Joan's birth, their mother took them to live in California with her relatives. Interestingly, since her retirement decades ago, Ms. De Havilland has resided as an American citizen in
Paris, France. As I write this, she is 100 years old, and Joan Fontaine is deceased.

@ VICTORYIN08: See List of American artists 1900 and after, which I just picked at random, or any other list of people, to see how Wikipedia generally shows birth and death years. I cleaned up this list to make the format standard, and then it was changed back to the uneven quality that it had when I started. An explanation for undoing my changes would have been polite. Now would also be a good time to explain. Chris the speller yack 15:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Why does this article highlight people over 80 years old with a row of stars? (********** for anyone 80 years or older
) This strange ageism should be removed. —

Why not? I think it is a significant milestone reaching 80. I could be wrong but I don't think too many people would have an issue with this. VICTORYIN08 ( talk) 01:33, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
I agree with the first two comments here. Flagging people over any age is ageism and completely arbitrary. Why 80? 80 is no more a significant milestone than 70 or 90 or 120 -- 76.14.38.58 ( talk) 04:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
@ Atlantic306: Is a voice actress same with regular actress? I admit their talent as voice actress, but we can never see them act physically (with their full body), can't we? That's why I think the voice actresses should be distinguished and be removed from this list, so this article will keep to being "List of American film actresses" — Nooviiaan ( talk) 23 October 2018
