Jacqueline-Charlotte Dufresnoy (born Jacques-Charles) was born on August 23, 1931, in Paris. From a young age, Jacqueline had a penchant for fashion and performance, and an underlying and unmistakable true sense of self. She once said, “...As a boy aged four. I knew I was different. I was a girl, really, but nobody could see it. A red party dress with black polka dots earned Jacqueline the nickname “Coccinelle,” or “Ladybug” as a teenager, but no one knew at the time just how far that name would take her.
