Mal (Ozstatman) & Steve (58L8134), thanks. I was searching for something like HRH (His or Her Royal Highness) and missed the forest for the trees. Well, we all have been there. Take, for example, the case of "The King of Hollywood" Douglas Fairbanks, an "American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer" as well as "founding member of United Artists. He was also a founding member of The Motion Picture Academy and hosted the first Oscars Ceremony in 1929" [wikipedia].
Acc. to Wikipedia, Douglas Fairbanks was a man, "widely considered as one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the 1910s and 1920s" but for PMCC he shrank to a "male standing at front driver's side".
