Ian McKellen, Kristen Stewart and Elliot Page I'll give you, but otherwise it's a fairly shameful track record

Jodie Foster was one of the top female actors in her day though. There seems to be less leading roles in general for women unless you're a certain age and look a certain way compared to men although I think a woman being gay would be less of an issue for people who would have an issue with gay actors playing straight characters
