by Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey and Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side,” Arquette’s and the Lady Chablis’ performances and acting roles were early representations of openly trans people in Hollywood. The Lady Chablis and Arquette were bona-fide stars, a “mind-blowing” feat, says Jazzmun Nichcala Crayton, a transgender activist and actress who was in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Punks.”
Crayton remembers seeing the Lady Chablis on “Entertainment Tonight” around the time the film premiered. Her only thought: “Oh, my God. This is beautiful.”Jazzmun Nichcala Crayton, right, with, from left, director Michael Brewer and co-executive producers David Hays Gaddis and Madeleine Liebert of the documentary"In Full Bloom."Jazzmun Nichcala Crayton
Arquette was also iconic, Crayton adds, because she continually transgressed gender and sexuality in her personal and professional lives. She often played LGBT characters in films like 1994’s “Threesome” and 1998’s “The Wedding Singer” andAdams highlights that while the Lady Chablis and Arquette’s existence in more restrictive times were important, societal perception and lack of understanding didn’t make it easy.
