Alexis Arquette | Transgender Woman

Prior to passing on in 2016, Alexis Arquette was an American actress. During the early days of her career, she performed mainly as a female impersonator. Her first showing on screen was as Alexis in Dawn and Out in Beverly Hills. When she became a bit older, at 19, she played the role of Georgette, a transgender person, in the Last Exit to Brooklyn. Most of her work was on low-budget films, but she still displayed good money management skills, saving about $1 to 5 million.

Arquette has also appeared as a supporting character in Pulp Fiction and Bride of Chucky. VH1 also took her in as a celebrity guest judge for The Surreal Life’s sixth season in 2005. Two years later, Bravo also got her as a judge in the reality show Top Design. Despite having moderate success as an actor, what Arquette really wanted was to have a gender-reassignment surgery, which with courage, she realized in 2006.
