Caitlyn Jenner in New York City on June 30, 2015.NCP/Star Max/GC Images/Getty Images by [TIME Staff](https://time.com/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Jul 20, 2015 12:00 PM UTC For weeks now, _Orange Is The New Black_ star Laverne Cox has been loudly championing Caitlyn Jenner on social media and in interviews. (Her praise can be summed up with [this quote](http://lavernecox.tumblr.com/post/120503412651/on-may-29-2014-the-issue-of-timemagazine): “Yasss Gawd! Werk Caitlyn! Get it!”) And for her part, Jenner has reciprocated Cox’s praise, [posting to Twitter](https://twitter.com/Caitlyn%5FJenner/status/611338039504318465) that the actress is “fierce and fabulous” and that her support “means the world.” But it wasn’t until Sunday night that the two women actually met face to face, at a special private advance screening of Jenner’s upcoming E! docuseries about her transition, _I Am Cait_. The two were joined by a number of other well-known transgender women for the screening, including actress and performance artist Candis Cayne. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3964201/caitlyn-jenner-laverne-cox-meet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3964201/caitlyn-jenner-laverne-cox-meet/"},"headline":"Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox Finally Got to Meet","datePublished":"2015-07-20T12:00:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:18.610Z","description":"The two finally met in real life","url":"https://time.com/3964201/caitlyn-jenner-laverne-cox-meet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","LGBT","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0992b7ae4a183394/698859cb524fc0da44df3705/caitlyn-jenner2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0992b7ae4a183394/698859cb524fc0da44df3705/caitlyn-jenner2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Caitlyn Jenner in New York City on June 30, 2015.","caption":"Caitlyn Jenner in New York City on June 30, 2015.","creditText":"NCP/Star Max/GC Images/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3964201/caitlyn-jenner-laverne-cox-meet/","name":"Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox Finally Got to Meet"}}]}] ```
