There were no actresses in William Shakespeare's time. All female characters were played by young men who trained in the art of theatre at a young age. The boys were dressed up to look like women using overly exaggerated makeup and clothing. This is one of the reasons why there are barely any kissing scenes in Shakespeare's plays. The reason why all of the actors were male was due a ban against women being allowed to act in the theatre. This ban was not lifted until 1660 and then, still, men were very hesitant to allow the women actors any major female roles. Seeing as Shakespeare died in 1616, there really were no actresses during his time.
