Actors and actresses, though began to be "popular" figures in the late 19th century, were NOT considered to be "fit" for high class society.

This only sort of began to change somewhat in the 20th century in America and in the UK.

By ignoring the law,in your comments, you left out the important reason WHY boys played female roles, in Elizabethan England.

And you also ignored many other things I posted.

Your inability to refute what I said, or just ignoring it completely doesn't help your arguments.

I didn’t try to refute what you said, except that it wasn’t just because of prostitution. In general, actress was considered an unsuitable job for a woman.
