  This is Modern Love, and today I'm talking to actor Laverne Cox.

  Growing up in Mobile, Alabama, Laverne Cox did not fit in, and she didn't want to.

  From a very early age, she knew she was going to be a star.

• 01:05

  And unlike many kids who grew up thinking that, Laverne was right.

  Decades later, she'd break through as Sophia Burset on Netflix's Orange Is the New Black,

• 01:15

  and she'd become the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy in an acting category.

  Today, Laverne and I talk about her new memoir, Transcendent.

• 01:24

  She tells me the story of how she became the star she always
