On June 1, 2015, Caitlyn Jenner revealed her new name — and her new look — to a captivated audience that had grown up knowing the name "Bruce Jenner." Bruce Jenner, Olympic gold medalist. Bruce Jenner, the dad on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
But as she announced during a two-hour interview with Diane Sawyer, that sit-down would be the last time she would go by Bruce.
Coming out as transgender on national television, Caitlyn Jenner announced to the world that "for all intents and purposes, I am a woman."
Caitlyn's new public life is just getting started, but her past — and the moment leading up to this historic magazine cover— is nothing short of incredible.
Caitlyn Jenner was born William Bruce Jenner on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York, about an hour north of Manhattan.
Jenner attended Newtown High School in Connecticut for her junior and senior year, graduating in 1968. Former football coaches remember "#11" as a star athlete. The high school's stadium was named after Jenner until 2011.
