Remembering Alexis Arquette
Found this on Facebook today.

Remembering ALEXIS ARQUETTE on what would have been their 56th birthday, July 28. Alexis, who died in 2016 — a year filled with iconic celebrity deaths — starred in one of my favorite romantic comedies, "I Think I Do" (1997), and many other films, and became a well-known trans woman and activist on behalf of trans causes. Later, Alexis presented as a man again. AA died of HIV-related issues at just 47.
Alexis was one of the famous Arquettes, sibling to the acclaimed Rosanna, Patricia and David, and grandchild of Cliff Arquette aka Charley Weaver of "Hollywood Squares" fame.
Perhaps Alexis's most widely viewed performance was in "The Wedding Singer" (1998), pictured, but it could be a jump-shot between that, "Pulp Fiction" (1994) and "Bride of Chucky" (1998).
Did anyone know Alexis personally?
