Michael Jackson's BACK-UP DANCER Turned Post Op
Anyone have info on the Michael Jackson BACK UP dancer from the 'Beat It or Bad' video who was on the Oprah Winfrey Show (Late 80's or early 90's I think) that had the sex change? I have googled my azz off. I was a baby, but I remember that show and can't believe google isn't showing anything on it. Strangely enough, I was going to ask this a few days before M.J. passed away.
If anyone comes up with this BACK UP dancer's identity, let me know!

I still say it was a Janet Jackson, dancer. Numerous references exist. And I saw her myself, on television in the ninties.

Thank you, Daidone! Do me!
When I think about it, I keep seeing Michael's face. It was, definately, 1 of his dancers. I can't believe they've kept that so hush hush from the net.

It was Rudy Huston, he was a lead dancer for Janet (What Have You Done For Me Lately, Escapade and Nasty Boys) and Pebbles (Mercedes Boy) and a host of other videos during that time. I don't think he ever worked with Michael. He is now known as Lana. She appeared on some minor talk shows and it was not a big deal and didn't get any special good ratings.
It is not being hidden, on the hush hush or anything, it just was not that big of a deal to the average person. During that time a lot of dancers were very feminine, so one going the female route was a pretty minor story.
Dancers, in general, don't make big news. Just think how many of the top dancers and choreographers from that time died of AIDS and it hardly made a dent in the media. I think Michael Peters, the choreographer of Thriller and Beat It past away with hardly a media blip.

I don't remember them mentioning Janet or Pebbles. Maybe more than 1 did it.
