When it comes to her education, she attended Sleepy Hollow High School and matriculated from Newtown High School. Having matriculated, Caitlyn subsequently enrolled into Graceland College, where she had successful career on the football field until suffering an injury. However, she didn’t give up on her athletic career, as she switched to decathlon and went on to participate in the Drake Relays in Des Moines, finishing the competition in fifth position. Graduating from college in 1973, with a degree in physical education, and one year after that, Jenner went on to achieve notable success in winning the American men’s decathlon championship. In 1975, she won the gold medal at the Pan American Games, finishing the competition with 8,045 points, but the highlight of Caitlyn’s career in sports was winning the 1976 Olympics decathlon event.
Speaking about Caitlyn’s acting career, she made her debut in the movie entitled ‘’ Can’t Stop the Music’’ in 1980, credited as Bruce Jenner, which however received a generally negative response from the audience. In the following period, she landed the role of Officer Steve McLeish in ‘’ CHiPs’’, appearing in the six episodes of the series, and subsequently had minor roles or was a guest star in series such as ‘’The Fall Guy’’ and ‘’Murder, She Wrote’’ in 1984 and 1985 respectively. She continued with such roles in the same manner, and most importantly in 2016, was cast in ‘’Transparent’’, a Golden Globe-winning comedy drama series, adding steadily to her net worth.
However, Caitlyn is now best known for her appearance in “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, the worldwide-famous reality series focused on lives of the Kardashian clan, most importantly on Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall alongside with Kris, Caitlyn’s ex-wife. The series made its debut in October 2007 and as of 2017 the cast celebrated its 10th anniversary. Generally speaking, despite being harshly spoken about, the series is watched by a large audience worldwide, which exposed Caitlyn to the media and helped her gain even more fame.
However, we should mention that Caitlyn was still a man when she appeared in most of the previously mentioned projects. Following her gender transition – actually only finalized in 2017 – she started her own reality show entitled ‘’I Am Cait’’, which premiered in July 2015 and had its last episode in April 2016. She also created a line of her makeup for MAC, one of the most prominent makeup companies in the world.
