The 5-foot-10 Hawaiian beauty ruled the New York club scene for more than a decade before moving to Hollywood in 2007. There, Ms. Cayne became the first transgender actress to appear on network TV.这位身高5英尺10英寸（约合1.77米）的夏威夷美女称首纽约俱乐部舞台十多年，2007年进军好莱坞。

在那里，凯恩成为第一位出现在电视上的变性女演员。

She was cast on ABC’s “Dirty Sexy Money,”opposite William Baldwin as atransgender woman having an affair with a married politician. She appeared on “Good Morning America,”where Robin Roberts said she was “blazing a path”for transgender visibility.她在ABC频道的《黑金家族》(Dirty Sexy Money)中与威廉·鲍德温(William Baldwin)演对手戏，饰演一位与已婚政客有染的变性女人。

她还在《早安美国》(Good Morning America)中亮相，罗宾·罗伯茨(Robin Roberts)说她为变性人能更多的被社会所关注“照亮了道路”。

The spotlight did not last. After “Dirty Sexy Money”was canceled, Ms. Cayne largely faded from public view. But in recent weeks she has re-emerged on a larger stage.但是公众的关注没能一直持续下去。

《黑金家族》停播后，凯恩基本上从公众视野中消失了。

但是最近几周，她又重新出现在更大的舞台上。

She appeared on the cover of Star Magazine, was interviewed by People magazine, has appeared in innumerable tabloid blog posts and was the grand marshal at the Gay Pride Parade in Montreal.她登上《明星》杂志(Star)的封面；接受《人物》杂志(People)的采访；出现在无数小报的博客文章中；担任蒙特利尔同性恋傲娇大游行(Gay Pride Parade)的大礼官。

The source of this sudden attention is E!’s “I Am Cait,”in which Ms. Cayne, 44, has emerged as the unlikely confidante of Ms. Jenner, accompanying her on trips to San Francisco to meet with gay and transgender activists and escorting her to the ESPY Awards in New York.她突然之间获得的关注源于E!的真人秀节目《我是凯特》(I Am Cait)，44岁的凯恩在其中不可思议地以詹纳的闺蜜身份现身，多次陪她去旧金山与同性恋和变性人活动家们会面，护送她去纽约接受ESPY奖。

There have also been rumors of a romantic spark, though it’s hard not to be skeptical that the story line was manufactured by E! producers to gin up tabloid interest. Indeed, a recent teaser posted by E! is called “Caitlyn Jenner Gets Asked Out on a Date,”although the actual clip just shows Ms. Jenner going to Ms. Cayne’s house for a glass of wine.也有传闻说，她们之间擦亮了爱的火花，但是人们很难不去怀疑，这个故事是E!的制作人们为了引发小报兴趣而编出来的。

的确，前不久，《E!》发布了一个预告片，名叫《凯特琳·詹纳应邀赴约》(Caitlyn Jenner Gets Asked Out on a Date)，而实际上，那个片段只是詹纳去凯恩家喝葡萄酒。

And earlier this month, Star published a photo of Ms. Cayne on its cover, withthe headline: “Caitlyn Jenner: I’m in Love.”本月早些时候，《明星》杂志在封面上登出凯恩的照片，标题是“凯特琳·詹纳：我恋爱了”。

Ms. Cayne is savvy enough to know a good tabloid story, so when asked about the relationship, she simply offers, “I can say Caitlyn and I have become close, and we’re great friends.”凯恩很精明，知道这是很好的小报故事，所以当被问及她们的关系时，她只说，“可以说，我和凯特琳很亲密，我们是好朋友。

”On a recent Wednesday, Ms. Cayne was running around a spacious house in the Hollywood Hills, where a photographer was taking publicity shots for her newfound fame.前不久的一个周三，凯恩在好莱坞山的一所宽敞的房子里到处游逛，一位摄影师在为她在公众中的新形象拍摄宣传照片。

There were sequins in every shade of the rainbow and dresses made out of peacock feathers. But it was her hair —long and blond and blown out to perfection, the sort beauty queens try to emulate —that completed the look.现场有各种颜色的亮片和用孔雀羽毛做成的连衣裙。

不过，是她的头发让造型变得完美——她长长的金发吹得很完美，是选美皇后们努力追求的发型。

“It’s my showgirl moment,”Ms. Cayne said. “This dress I’m wearing now has a kind of ‘Viva Las Vegas’vibe.”“这是我的歌舞女郎时间，”凯恩说，“我现在穿的连衣裙有一种‘拉斯维加斯万岁’的感觉。

”Growing up in Maui in the early 1980s as Brendan McDanniel, things were a little more crunchy granola. Her parents were teachers and progressives who had few issues when, as a teenage boy, their son came out as gay. It would be several more years before Ms. Cayne came to terms with her gender identity.坎迪丝·凯恩原名布伦丹·麦克丹尼尔(Brendan McDanniel)，20世纪80年代初在毛伊岛长大，那里相对开明。

他的父母都是教师，也是进步人士。

当十几岁的儿子出柜时，他们几乎没有表示异议。

几年后，凯恩才弄清自己的性别身份。

Shortly after high school, Ms. Cayne moved to New York in hopes of becoming a professional dancer. She lived in a single-room occupancy hotel in the then-seedy meatpacking district; went on scholarship at Steps, a dance studio on the UpperWest Side; and worked as a kitty girl at the Roxy, a former gay club in Chelsea.高中毕业后不久，凯恩搬到纽约，希望能成为一名职业舞蹈演员。

她住在当时比较脏乱破旧的肉库区的一个单人套房旅馆里，后来获得了上西区舞蹈班Steps的奖学金，在切尔西的前同性恋俱乐部Roxy里做猫女郎(kitty girl)。
