It’s where she belongs.” The two actors are both on the awards circuit for the critically acclaimed drama which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year, resulting in Lysette receiving an 11-minute standing ovation.
The “Transparent” actor was the first openly transgender performer to headline a film in competition at the oldest running festival in the world.
