How to start a letter to a female celebrity?

[matze16]

Hello!

I know that this question might seem stupid but since I have already read so many different opinions in the internet I can not decide which is the right one.

How do you have to start a letter when you are writing to a female celebrity?

a) Dear Miss(.)
b) Dear Mrs(.)
c) Dear Ms(.)

I am absolutely confused since I don't want to use the wrong one because this would be really embarrassing for me!

Thank you very much!

I always start my letters to Actresses with

"Dear Ms. (last name)"

Sometimes I'll just put there first name too, Like: "Dear Alyson,"

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

Thank you so much!

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.

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

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

Oh thank you so much osiris

This is the explanation/confirmation I was looking for {thumb2}

Well I think you can use whatever really. 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".
