For actor Mya Taylor, 2015 has been a whirlwind.
The previous year, film-maker Sean Baker had plucked her from obscurity in Los Angeles to star in his transgender comedy Tangerine. Taylor now finds herself at the center of an Oscar campaign mounted by the film's distribution company, Magnolia Pictures. If successful, it will make Taylor the first transgender actor to be nominated for an Academy award.*************************************
Definitely a strange trip, and I do wish her well. Her's is an amazing and unusual story.
