oh, jeez, i thought it was pretty much common knowledge. even though she has never publicly admitted this condition, it is a rampant 'rumor' i guess and she has never refuted it.

i did find this quote: "The only document that has ever been offered as "proof" was a 1996 op-ed piece in the Baltimore Sun written by William O. Beeman, associate professor of anthropology at Brown University, entitled "What Are You: Male, Merm, Herm, Ferm or Female?" The relevant passage reads as follows:

As a result, there are perhaps millions of XX males and XY females living in the United States today. These are cultural males with male genitalia who are genetically female, and cultural females with female genitalia who are genetically male. The film star Jamie Lee Curtis is one well-known individual who is genetically male, but phenotypically female."

evidently this was deleted from the actual article because the original doctor could not be found. regardless, it would violate doctor/patient privilege.

...and the OTHER rumored testicular feminization syndrome in Hollywood was Jane Russel:

Notice the large hands, strong jaw line and big tatas. They tend to have big ones...
