Entries in Laverne Cox (17)

Tuesday
Jan102023

Are you watching the Golden Globes tonight?

On the red carpet Natasha Lyonne is a complete joy, marvelling at her career ('slow and steady wins the race!'). While Laverne Cox is still giving complete chaos as an interviewer, it's generated some fun moments like this exchange with her Orange is the New Black co-star.

LAVERNE: What story are you talling us with this look?

NATASHA: I'm telling you rain-proof. Noah's Ark could come and I'd be ready in my two zebras: Givenchy. David Webb.

LAVERNE COX: This is how you prepare for Noah's Ark?

NATASHA: Well you know that from the Bible. It's all right there in black and white so I'm just following God's wishes as usual.

We'll be back later with a rundown of best moments, the best tables (which one will have the most fun?), and the winners but for now use this space to discuss the red carpet and the big night.

She lived large in swanky hotels and on lavish Marrikesh vacations all without paying for a dime of it herself. This was never destined to last, and Delvey wound up in jail for her crimes.

Netflix’s Inventing Anna dramatizes Delvey’s exploits, with Emmy winner Julia Garner bringing her to life...

Beauty Break: Trans Day of Visibility

by Nathaniel R

Jamie Clayton of Sense8 fame photographed by Austin Hargrave

Since today is Trans Day of Visibility let's gaze at some trans actors. There's been an explosion of visibility for the community in the past ten years or so in showbusiness both in front of cameras and behind them. When we were growing up there were only a few out gay and lesbian celebrities but virtually no trans celebrities and now there are hundreds of queer actors working including trans actors. Even a couple of househould names. Let's be grateful for progress even in a world filled with many injustices and still rampant discrimination of the LGBTQ+ community.

After the jump a dozen semi-randomly selected trans actors (so don't say we missed someone. We're happy to report that there are many we missed but we're on a deadline)...
