Schoolboy to Showgirl: The Alexandra Billings Story (Part 4)
Loading...
Uploaded by JohnAdamsDC on Jul 1, 2009
A profile of transgendered actress-singer Alexandra Billings, who grew up in Chicago and has performed in many local stage productions. Billings has also played transsexual characters on "ER" and "Grey's Anatomy."
Ms. Billings is (IMO) noteworthy as a woman. Please note that I didn't choose to use the adjective, 'transgendered' - even though she is a *fantastic* role model for the community of transgendered folks.
When I view her story, it just doesn't seem appropriate to place the 'lesser' adjective before the 'more appropriate' noun. To my mind, "transgendered" is a reflection of only *one* part of many processes that a very strong woman had to undergo to fulfill her complete potential in the world.
You Go, GIRL.

RuPaul isn't transgendered...she's just a drag queen.

Terrific documentary. I'm a lifelong Katharine Hepburn fan and normally hate any impression of Kate BUT Alexandra's "Katie" is so funny and over the top and the situations are so preposterous (Katie mentioning her "good friend" Pia Zadora that I have to laugh.) Long live Katie and Alexandra -- and -- it's great that you married your high school sweetheart -- just a great, positive story about a really talented woman.
