LAVERNE COX
Well, Laverne Cox must be the most famous celebrity we have on this list. Fans of Orange Is the New Black on Netflix will know who she is, but who doesn’t? She made history as the first trans person to receive an Emmy acting nomination. Aside from that, she also became the first trans actress to land a leading part on a major network. This happened for a CBS show called Doubt.
