Caitlyn Jenner To Guest Star On Transparent

From reality star to TV star, Caitlyn Jenner is certainly living quite the fab life. Jill Soloway announced to the Associated Press that the 66-year-old is set to appear on the third season of Amazon's hit series, Transparent. We bet Kris Jenner is just seething!
Soloway told the outlet that the former Olympian would be filming scenes as an undisclosed character beginning next week. The creator also said that having Jenner on the show was a "dream come true."
Soloway also added, "We are all part of the same community. A lot of the transwomen who work on our show are also in her show, I am Cait. Lots of crossover. Lots of friends."
Transparent follows a transgender woman (played by Jeffrey Tambor) named Maura Pfefferman who is trying to maintain her relationships with her three grown children, while dealing with her new life as a trans woman.
This isn't Jenner's first foray into acting. The stylish star had a number of guests spots back in the day, appearing in CHiPs, Murder She Wrote and The Love Boat.
We do really think that Soloway is jazzed that she nabbed Jenner. In November, she told People that Jenner has "broken down the last barrier."
"She's the most famous trans woman on the planet, she's in the most famous family on the planet," said Soloway.
She added, "It's a blessing. There are so few out trans role models. I liken it to when you're a little kid and you want to cross the street, but the highway's too busy and so everybody holds hands and walks across together."
