This quiz book focuses on the career and personal life of transgender icon, performer, actress, and author, the Grand Empress herself, The Lady Chablis.
According to Wikipedia, The Lady Chablis (1957-2016), also known as The Grand Empress and The Doll, was an American actress, author, and transgender club performer. Through exposure in the bestselling nonfiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and its 1997 film adaptation, she became one of the first trans performers to be introduced to a wide audience.
She also appeared in the 1999 film “Forces of Nature” and the 2000 film “Somebody to Love”. In addition to her acting career, she was a popular transgender club performer, winning multiple titles in drag pageantry under the name Brenda Dale Knox, including Miss Dixieland and Miss Gay World in 1976.
Upon news of her death, several of Chablis' former co-stars made tributes to her. Paul Hipp, alongside whom she appeared in the movie adaptation of Midnight in the Garden, said: "So sad to hear of The Lady Chablis' passing. She was super talented, kind, and laugh out loud funny. She was a true transgender pioneer, way ahead of her time."
