Bruce Jenner is allegedly transitioning into a woman. He’s sparked speculation by making changes to his appearance, such as growing out his hair, shaving his Adam’s apple and wearing colorful nail polish.
But ‘In Touch’ has unearthed photos of his debut as a woman — back in 1981!
The former Olympian was 31-years-old when he donned a dress, heels and a wig at a sketch comedy special, ‘Bob Hope’s All-Star Comedy Look at the Fall Season: It’s Still Free and Worth It!’

On the TV special, Bruce, Bob Hope and NFL star Merlin Olsen impersonated 1970s act The Mandrall Sisters, calling themselves “The Mandrakes.”
An insider says the television special was the perfect opportunity for Bruce to finally express his true self.
“He loved dressing up in women’s clothes, but he always had to hide it,” the insider tells ‘In Touch.’

The source explains that during the sketch, “He could get away with being who he really wanted to be in front of millions of people. It was frightening, but also very exciting for him. He was more than happy to do it.”
