Madame Tussauds San Francisco recently announced the debut of the wax figure of transgender Laverne Cox, star of Orange Is the New Black on June 26 during Pride Weekend festivities in the Bay Area. The unveiling of the transgender rights activist’s wax figure at its San Francisco Museum has been scheduled to coincide with the San Francisco gay pride week, Times Magazine reported recently.
This year’s event will have an infusion of novelty as Caitlyn Jenner will be featured in the pride’s banner in addition to Laverne Cox whose’s image has been used by the organizers for several years.
Laverne Cox will be the first transgender wax figure in the museum’s history.
