Surgical gender reassignment is now almost a commonplace procedure, but then it was seen as \u0022science fiction surgery\u0022 and when the news broke it was a sensation. Michael Dillon, originally called Laura, had persuaded the brilliant Sir Harold Gillies -- the founding father of plastic surgery thanks to his pioneering work with badly injured soldiers from both World Wars -- to carry out the female-to-male operation that no surgeon in the world had ever attempted. Both men then helped former racing car driver and wartime pilot Robert Cowell change his own gender and become a woman.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[],"production":[{"id":"co0180250","text":"Blakeway Productions"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
