About this deal
In other words, no journalist for a major news outlet asked Marley the alleged question about a "perfect woman" — nor did the famous singer supposedly respond to the inquiry like the Facebook post claimed — according to archives available to Snopes. If you are looking for the perfect date night film... or great drama... This film is NOT the film for you. But if you are looking for a film which sensitively and accurately portrays what it is like for "young transitioning" transwomen this is it. Even its dated production is dead on accurate. The film was made in 1981, using Los Angeles as a location. I lived in L.A. right at that time. I am also transsexual, having transitioned socially to living as a girl as a teenager... and having has surgery in 1981. Thus, this film spoke directly to me. The BBC broadcast a live adaptation of the Geoffrey and Mitchell play in the Sunday Night Theatre slot on 6 May 1956. The portrayal is nearly perfect. Holly is ME! I was Holly! The ONLY wrong note in the whole plot is the silly notion that such an obviously feminine and androphilic (sexually attracted to men) individual would have been drafted and sent to Viet Nam. Yes, many transwomen have served in the military. But if you look at them carefully, you will find that they are universally gynephilic (sexually attracted to women) and are not particularly feminine in behavior or appearance.
Steffens is a reggae historian and "Bob Marley expert" ( according to The Los Angeles Times) who's interviewed the musician's inner circle for research projects. Norton & Company has not returned our message, but we will update this report if that changes, and whether Steffens provides us with any evidence to help investigate this claim. It was possible, however, someone doing less-formal journalism documented the moment with Marley, and that the database did not include that evidence because of the nature of the reporting.Roc made the film after spending several months in Paris, where she made Retour and The Man on the Eiffel Tower.

Finally, (spoiler), Holly's ill fated romance goes sour when her boyfriend discovers that she is transsexual. This too is dead on accurate. I felt it hit me in the gut... having been there all to often myself. Also the way it ended with Holly in San Francisco but I never heard her say she was going to S.F. to have suddenly ended up there.
