30 Days of Pride Day 6- The Lady ChablisThe Lady Chablis was an American actress, author, and transgender club performer. Through exposure in the bestselling nonfiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and its 1997 film adaptation, she became one of the first trans performers to be introduced to a wide audience.In the book, Chablis and her larger-than-life adventures provided a counterbalance to the darker narrative of murder that was central to the book. Transgender actress Laverne Cox stated after her death, “I was captivated seeing an actual black trans woman in a major Hollywood motion picture killing it. She was salty and brash in her stage act and represents a generation of trans women entertainers we must never forget.” -- source link
