April Ashley: Model, actress and trans trailblazer dies aged 86
Actress, model and activist April Ashley has been hailed as a " trans trailblazer" following her death at the Age Of 86.

As a model, Ashley was photographed for Vogue, while her film credits as an actress included a small role in Road to Hong Kong alongside Bob Hope , Bing Crosby and Joan Collins .
However, it was not widely known that she was transgender, and her career was Cut Short in 1961 after the Sunday People newspaper outed her.
In 1963, Ashley married aristocrat Arthur Cameron Corbett in Gibraltar.
Their divorce in 1970 became a landmark legal ruling when The Judge ruled that she remained a biological man and it was not possible to legally change sex, which therefore rendered The Marriage invalid.
Despite the humiliation, she rallied and opened a restaurant, April and Desmond's, in Knightsbridge - But eventually the attention she received from The Court case became too much and, following a Heart Attack in 1975, she retreated to Hay-on-Wye and later the US West Coast .
