ACTRESS as FEC employer text: $8.9 million

A gendered title, not the ACTOR key

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Filers who typed ACTRESS are stored separately from those who typed ACTOR. The $8,949,628 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not SAG-AFTRA PAC spending, not box-office receipts, and not a NAICS 7115 independent-artists rollup.

People who typed ACTOR, MUSICIAN, a studio legal name, or SELF-EMPLOYED without this word sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode ACTOR into ACTRESS. The FEC field records stored text, not a guild membership roster.

376 donors and 21,578 lines

376 unique donors produced 21,578 ACTRESS contribution lines totaling $8,949,628. That is on the order of 57 itemized receipts per donor — high paperwork volume relative to the unique-donor set, closer to TEACHER-style repeat giving than to a handful of large one-time gifts. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and guild PAC filings are outside the $8,949,628 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 21,578 lines are expected.

ACTOR, MUSICIAN, and DESIGNER stay separate

ACTOR, MUSICIAN, DESIGNER, WRITER, and PHOTOGRAPHER are separate title-style keys. Combining them with ACTRESS would invent an entertainment recode. This page stays at $8,949,628 for ACTRESS only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside ACTRESS — actor, producer, self-employed — as typed. A donor who listed a named studio or network is not in these 376 people unless the receipt grouped to ACTRESS.

Donor table without role inference

The ACTRESS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a film credit, a guild contract, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a credits database.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the title. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

ACTOR, studios, and guild PACs stay out

ACTRESS as a gendered title is not ACTOR, not MUSICIAN, not DESIGNER, and not a named studio. Those strings sit on other keys. The $8,949,628 total, 21,578 contribution lines, and 376 donors describe this one-word title only. PHOTOGRAPHER and WRITER remain sibling craft-title rows. Guild PAC filings stay outside the industry headline.

Unitemized gifts, state races, box-office receipts, and NAICS 7115 artist payroll stay outside the $8,949,628. Occupation pages show titles beside ACTRESS. People who still type the title remain in the 376. The FEC field is not a guild membership roster. Repeat names among 21,578 lines are expected at about 57 receipts per donor.

Open the ACTRESS donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a film-credit or guild-contract inference. Cite $8,949,628, 21,578 contributions, and 376 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add ACTOR to this title and call the sum an entertainment industry.

Researchers who want an entertainment recode must list ACTOR, MUSICIAN, DESIGNER, WRITER, and PHOTOGRAPHER as separate additions. The $8,949,628 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on ACTRESS as 376 donors and 21,578 lines. Guild PAC filings remain other FEC categories. Follow recipient committees on the ACTRESS donor table. Repeat gifts explain the high line count. Party share is not computed on the industry headline. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS 7115 and not a credits database.

Questions

How much have ACTRESS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $8,949,628 to the ACTRESS employer string, from 21,578 contributions and 376 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a guild PAC and not a NAICS performing-arts total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this the same as ACTOR?

No. ACTOR is a separate employer string with its own page. The $8,949,628 total is only receipts whose grouped text is ACTRESS. LobbyVault does not merge the two titles. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include musicians and designers?

No. MUSICIAN, DESIGNER, WRITER, and PHOTOGRAPHER are separate title-style keys. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text ACTRESS. Named studios sit in other employer rows when typed. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Why so many contributions from 376 donors?

The 21,578 lines include repeat gifts from the same 376 people — on the order of 57 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise the line count. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-person census. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
