In Spanish, job titles often change depending on whether the person is male or female. 'Actriz' is the female form; the male form is 'actor'.

Correction: La actriz es famosa. Remember to match the gender of the job title to the person being described.

Since 'actriz' is feminine, you must use the feminine articles: 'la actriz' (the actress) or 'una actriz' (an actress).
