Being hungry and going on Go-Sees weren't Rebecca's only woes back in the Eighties. For Rebecca -- now a 53-year-old successful businesswoman, running De Havalland Model Agency, presenting on NV TV in Belfast, and writing her beauty column in Suburbia magazine -- was born Eamon Tallon, "the second child and first son of a middle-class family in Granard, Co Longford.
"I'm often asked when did I realise I was a girl. I always knew I was a girl. It had nothing to do with thought; there was no process of realisation."
Rebecca has written a book about her life, His Name is Rebecca, and was the subject of a recent RTE Would You Believe documentary. After watching the documentary and reading about her life, all I can say is: what a life!
