From the Ed Wood entry on Wikipedia:
"It is reported that Wood's mother, Lillian, always wanted a girl and sometimes dressed young Ed up in skirts and dresses. This went on until Ed was about 12 years old. Some have presumed this to be the origin of Wood's non-sexually oriented transvestite tendencies, but others believe that while on a skiing trip with his relatives, one of his aunts told him to wear a jacket, when he said he didn't have one, his aunt took off her own angora jacket and gave it to him (a theme later seen in Glen or Glenda). The story goes on to say that he liked the feel of the material and made a habit of wearing it."
