BrendaBruce found success and steady employment playing supporting roles on stage, television, and in feature films.
She began her long career at age 12 as a dancer in a chorus line.
Bruce boosted her reputation after working with the Birmingham Repertory company from 1936 through the early '40s when she returned to the London theater scene to establish herself as a key interpreter of George Bernard Shaw's work.
Bruce's parents, concerned about his prospects for future happiness and sexual function without a penis, took him to Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore to see John Money, a psychologist who was developing a reputation as a pioneer in the field of sexual development and gender identity based on his work with intersex patients.
They persuaded his parents that this course would be in Bruce's best interest, and at the age of 22 months, surgery was performed to remove his testes and construct a vagina.
Estrogen was given to Brenda when she reached adolescence to induce breast development.
