ALEXIS ARQUETTE

To the colorful LGBTQ community, Alexis Arquette was quite the heroine. She made a name for herself as an actress, an underground cartoonist, a cabaret performer, and an activist. As an actress, she made appearances on some cult faves—including Pulp Fiction and Bride of Chucky. She was also part of Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore’s movies The Wedding Singer and Blended.

Due to her popularity and big investments at that time, VH1 has chosen Alexis to be one of the celebrity house-guests for The Surreal Life Season 6. Alexis is Patricia Arquette’s sister. She made her transition from male to female a bit later in her career, undergoing sexual reassignment surgery in her late 30s. Her journey became the subject of the film, Alexis Arquette: She’s My Brother. She took her last breath on September 11, 2016. She was 47 years old. Surely, her fans, family, and friends are missing having Alexis around.
