Category:American film actor, 1940s birth stubs

This category should be used for Americans who are notable only or primarily for their work as a film actor. If an American actor is notable for more than just film acting, then a stub article about them should use US-screen-actor-1940s-stub or US-actor-stub instead.

The perfect article about an actor gives both a (possibly short) biography and a list of performances. Also, appropriate categories should be added, especially Category:American film actors.
