For Your Eyes Only transsexual `Bond Girl` pens memoirs

04-Apr-2005 • Actor News

Caroline Cossey, whose claim to fame is to be the first transexual "Bond Girl", has penned her memoirs.

She appeared in the pool scene in 1981's "For Your Eyes Only", and later revealed herself to be a transexual. It is one of the most frequently asked about pieces of trivia in Bond-lore.

Now you can read Cossey's memoirs in a new book entitled "Sexual Metamorphosis: An Anthology of Transsexual Memoirs".

"These personal narratives of 17 gender pioneers include accounts by Christine Jorgensen, the first celebrity transsexual; Caroline Cossey, former model and James Bond girl; and novelist and English professor Jennifer Finney Boylan. A fascinating, readable book, filled with anguish, introspection, and courage."

Thanks to `Kyvan` for the alert.
