Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce, captured the world’s attention in April 2015 when she revealed to the world that she is a transgender woman.
Caitlyn first told her story during an ABC News 20/20 special interview with Diane Sawyer. The two-hour primetime show was a ratings smash, drawing 17 million total viewers – the highest for the show in 15 years.
On June 1, 2015, Caitlyn revealed her new name and look on the July cover of Vanity Fair. The cover image drew more than 9 million unique visitors to Vanity Fair’s website in a single day, the most ever for the site. Jenner also became an instant trending topic on social media, attracting one million Twitter followers in just over four hours, setting a new Guinness world record. She was named a runner-up for TIME’s Person of the Year in 2015.
Caitlyn is no stranger to media attention or high achievement. In 1976, Jenner represented the United States and broke the world record by scoring 8,634 points in the decathlon at the Olympic Games in Montreal, earning the title of “World’s Greatest Athlete.”
