EDITORS COMMENTS
"Caroline Tula Cossey: A Transgender Icon and Trailblazer in Entertainment and Fashion This portrait captures Caroline Tula Cossey, a groundbreaking figure in the history of transgender representation in the entertainment and fashion industries. Born in 1954 as James Cossey, she lived as a woman from a young age and pursued her dream of becoming a model in her late twenties. Cossey's career took off in the 1980s and 1990s, during which she graced the covers of numerous magazines, including Playboy, and walked the runways of Paris and London Fashion Week. Her most notable achievement came in 1981 when she became the first transgender woman to appear in a James Bond film, "For Your Eyes Only," as a Bond girl named Tanya Roberts. However, her success was short-lived as she faced intense media scrutiny and public backlash. In 1990, she lost a landmark case against the European Commission, which ruled that she could not be recognized as a woman under European law. Despite this setback, Cossey continued to advocate for transgender rights and challenged societal norms through her work and public appearances. This portrait, taken in 1990, captures the resilience and beauty of a woman who refused to be defined by societal expectations. Cossey's legacy as a transgender icon and trailblazer in the entertainment and fashion industries continues to inspire and pave the way for future generations." Brendan Monks, Memory Lane Prints.
