I remember a joke about him on SNL. He didn’t make a convincing woman after his, uh, metamorphosis. Before that, he didn’t make a convincing tennis player, and was worse as a fake woman.
The tennis player was Renée Richards, né Richard Raskin. According to Wikipedia, he’s still alive at 88. The travel writer James / Jan Morris is also still alive at 94. Richards is the sad, bitter one, largely abandoned by his family; Morris seems to’ve led a much happier life, still close to his wife and children.
