Imdb use of the word “actress”
IMDb uses the word “actress” for female actors. This word is outdated, and the use of it is discriminative against women. Because the suffix “ess” is used when you want to derivate another word that describes something smaller, less, etc. You must change this policy immidiately.

It is not true that -ess is generally used as a diminutive denoting something smaller. You may be thinking of -ette.
