Caitlyn Jenner in New York City on June 30, 2015.NCP/Star Max/GC Images/Getty Images by [TIME Staff](/author/time-staff/) ## TIME Staff Jul 20, 2015 12:00 PM CUT 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 "undefined"): “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 "undefined") 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"}}]}] ```
