Transsexual Star Scores In Wheelchair Dancing Movie

​"Life as a black transsexual cripple--it's way too interesting to me," deadpans Laverne Cox as Chantelle in Susan Seidelman's Musical Chairs, a really warm, expertly done flick that brings us into the world of "chair dancing," ballroom style.

I saw the deeply romantic dance-ical at the Miami International Film Festival the other night and was delighted to find Laverne (known from VH1's Transform Me) in a major role, as a disabled transsexual who learns all new moves.

She's "ready to roll," if you catch my drift.
