Not directly, though I could tell you how to have one generated.
You will need to "register" with the imdb as a "contributor" 1st,
with a login/passwd, and you'll need to turn cookies on (and also
enable persistent cookies to automate the authentication process
for subsequent activations).
FWIW, a typical "correction" operation results in a number of lines
in a TEXTAREA that are pre-loaded with the variable data for a given
actor/actress.
I mark the one(s) I will be editing with a leading "-" char, go into
the editor and replicate that line, changing the "-" to a "+", and
make the necessary corrections to the line body.
After submission, I get back a confirmation email, whose data is in
much the same format as what was in the TEXTAREA. Here is a typical
example (I updated the character field from "Woman" to "Human Op...88"):
