CANDIS CAYNE

Right before we were introduced with the character of Carmelita Rainer in the primetime series Dirty Sexy Money during the late 2000s as the other party in the life of the New York Attorney General Patrick Darling, the actress Candis Cayne used to appear in nightclubs as a drag queen since the late 80s and the dawn of the 90s. Cayne later revealed that she’s a trans in 1996 and that proved to change her life for the better.

Unlike most people that don’t want to cross the line and announce to the public their gender, she embraced it and that earned her respect from some of her peers in and around the LGBT community.
