Depends.... here's what I do:

Kid actress (under 18) - Hi [celeb's first name]

Young adult - Dear [celebs first name]

Adult - Dear Ms. [first] [last]

Legendary actress (i.e. Elizabeth Taylor) - Dear Ms. [last name]

I think you'd probably have to catch them on a really bad day, if they get offended by what title you use! :D

I was just asking my mum and she said it's only in recent year some females demand to be called "Mizz" because "Miss" isn't what they want to be called as it's deemed derogatory or something like that. It's not really to do with marital staus but how that person wishes themselves to be known as. And it's more often than not a certain type of female. So I won't be using that in case they think, that I think they're one of those who thinks Miss isn't good enough. So I'm quite happy calling the people I write to Miss, but whatever people think is best for them. And most chatshows etc introduce females a Miss and not Ms, so yeah, that's what I use.
OK. As I can see there isn't a "one and only right solution". :D

If you want to write a title, Ms. is your best pick. It's irrespective of marital status, and also saying "Miss" to an adult can sometimes be a little weird, like if they happen to be 40 and unmarried lol. Ms. is also often used for divorced or seperated women, so using Ms. is least likely to cause offence all round :)

I read that "Ms." would be the best one since it is independent whether the celebrity is married or not!? As I already said, I am confused about this topic :roll:

I always put Dear Miss. ---

Because that's how I've always done it. I don't think Ms. was the common thing when I was taught to write letters. :D

OK. I think I got it right! This was also the possibility I prefered ;-)

Thank you so much!
