In the artist's words:

Gérôme Castell, was born in Berlin in 1961 and is a Berlin great of the transgender scene, uniting drag kings and queens as well as all trans idents with the annual transgender event Wigstöckel in 1996.

A trained foreign language secretary, she started out as a full-playback performer in the mid-1980s. The underground clubs of the "scene" at the time were her stage. For the ZDF feature film Don't hate me, because I'm beautiful, she filmed in Paris in March 1992 and at the end of the year founded the Beauties of Berlin model troupe, which comprised 12 different "genders" and nationalities and performed as a show troupe.

In June 1993, she was one of the show stars at the solidarity evening for the preservation of the Schiller Theater. This was followed by various television appearances on talk shows. In March 1998, she was interviewed in Hamburg together with Olivia Jones in the Spiegel TV special Zwischen den Geschlechtern.

At the same time, she appeared on stage at the Ufa-Fabrik in Berlin in the leading role with the theater ensemble Head-Attack in the stage version Frauen schlafen nie of the famous film The Women by George Cukor.

From April to June 1999, she was a member of the ensemble in Romy Haag's show Cabaret Berlin - a welcome satire for politicians in Bonn - at the Tränenpalast. In January 2001, Gérôme organized the "T'oscar Awards" - a satire competition among TransFluids, who awarded each other the "T"-Oscar, the tranny Oscar.

In October 2004, she played the lead role of Vivienne del Vargos in the underground film Heisses Blut oder Vivienne del Vargos' letzter Vorhang.

She also dubbed parts of the Pro7 series Queer as Folk. The local TV station TV Berlin hired her to present the closing rally of the CSD 2007 in front of the Berlin Victory Column, where she interviewed the Governing Mayor of Berlin Klaus Wowereit, among others.

In September 2008, she played the role of Sara in the film What's your secret? In June 2010, she toured Berlin with her live program Torch.

After an attack in September 2013, in which she lost her right eye, she went quiet.

It wasn't until April 7, 2017 that she spoke at Rauschgold about depression and how I regained the courage to face life, which marked the start of her stage comeback.
