Envía is the third-person singular present tense form of enviar.
It is used with:
So in this sentence, la actriz is the subject, and envía matches it.
The accent mark shows that the stress falls on ví: en-ví-a.
Without the written accent, Spanish spelling rules would normally suggest a different stress pattern. The accent also helps show that í and a are pronounced in separate syllables here.
So:
This is very common in forms of verbs like enviar:
Spanish often omits subject pronouns when the subject is already clear.
In this sentence, the subject is explicitly named as la actriz, so adding ella would usually be unnecessary.

Una carta is the direct object.
It is the thing being sent. In other words, it receives the action of the verb envía.
So the sentence breaks down like this:

Usually, no.
In normal Spanish, you generally need the article here:
If you say Actriz envía carta, it sounds like a headline, note-taking style, or very unnatural everyday Spanish.
Spanish uses articles more often than English in many situations, so learners should usually keep them unless they know there is a specific reason to omit them.
