Transgender pioneer April Ashley's 'spectacular legacy' to be celebrated
Image caption,Ashley, who was born in Liverpool in 1935, served in the merchant navy as a teenager before moving to Paris and working in a nightclub while saving for gender reassignment surgery, which she underwent in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1960.
Working as a model and actress, she appeared in Vogue magazine and starred alongside Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Joan Collins, but her career was cut short when the Sunday People outed her in 1961. Two years later, she married aristocrat Arthur Cameron Corbett, but the marriage was annulled in 1970 when a judge ruled it was not possible to legally change sex and as such, the union was invalid.A memorial service was recently held for her at Liverpool's St George's Hall, which saw film director John Waters describe her as "so elegant, so proper".
