Did You Know?
| Trivia | One of the film's major advertising taglines was the erroneous claim "The First Man To Become A Woman!" In truth, as the movie makes clear, others had undergone similar surgery earlier; Jorgensen was simply the first well-publicized sex-change case. See more » |
| Goofs | The real Christine Jorgenson didn't wear female clothing when she was a child. In fact, she didn't wear female clothing until after she received her revised passport under her new name. See more » |
