The answer to your question is likely to depend on the jurisdiction. In the US, courts have gotten involved in child name disputes. I am not a lawyer, and don't know the state-by-state written or case law that would apply.

It would seem important to consider how much your pen name and the actress's name might be confused. Neither of you benefits from confusion. It just becomes a mess. If you are lucky, it remains a small enough mess that she wouldn't bother taking any action against you.
