She was known as Ladybug and was one of the first prominent figures to represent the LGBTQI+ community. Her true name is Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy, and she was born on August 23, 1931. On Tuesday, Google is honoring her in recognition of her 91st birthday. It is difficult to miss the time of this anniversary when there is a Doodle depicting this event that depicts a blonde woman in front of a crimson curtain with a ladybug on her finger.
On August 23, 1931, in the city of Paris, Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy was born to a male parent. She gave herself the moniker Coccinelle as a tribute to a frock with polka dots in black and red that she wore very often. She started her career as a performer in the early 1950s in Paris, where she could be seen either at the Madame Arthur cabarets or at the Carrousel. She is the first public person in French history to have vaginoplasty, and she sports a style that is heavily influenced by Marilyn Monroe.
In 1959, Coccinelle changed her name to Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy in accordance with her civil status. After then, she is considered a transgender icon and was one of the very first public figures to represent the LGBTQI+ community. Her first marriage was to a sports writer named Francis Paul Bonnet, and her second was to a Colombian music-hall dancer named Mario Florentin Hens. Both weddings took place in 1961. In 1963, Coccinelle began her career by performing at the Olympia, later going on to tour globally until settling down in Berlin.
In 1996, she wed the transformist artist Thierry Wilson alias Zize Dupanier, a figure from Michou, in the city of Paris. Zize Dupanier was a figure from Michou. The transgender community is served by the organization "Devenir femmes," which was established by Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy. Ladybug had a stroke in 2006, and she passed away from cardiac arrest on October 9, 2006, in Marseille, France. This occurred a few months after she had experienced the stroke.
