An actress is a woman who plays a role or character, usually fictional, in a dramatic, musical, or comedic production for stage, film, television, or radio. The word acting is from the Latin agere which means to “to do”.

A symbol associated with acting are the Comedy & Tragedy masks of Greek theatre that let actors switch roles and play characters of a different gender. Melpomene is the muse of tragedy, Thalia is the muse of comedy.
