In 2017 Sandra Caldwell had a reckoning with herself — she could keep living as she had or she could make an admission that would shake the entertainment world. She chose the latter, and gave the interview of a generation to The New York Times, revealing that she had been living and successfully working as a cisgender actress for decades, all the while being transgender. The TV, film and stage star, who was featured in the landmark Netflix documentary about trans erasure and invisibility called "Disclosure" and the critically acclaimed "Paris Is Burning," sits down with Why Here hosts Benton Whitley and Tristan McAllister to talk about her transition from Hollywood lady to an LGBTQIA icon.
