"CODA" actress Marlee Matlin on making noise

[@thescowlingschnauzer]

"34 years later she remains the only deaf person to win an Academy Award in any category." But not 35 years later! Congrats to Troy Kotsur on Best Support Actor in CODA!

You can always tell what a person is like when they have children. Listening to her son Tyler you see a well-adjusted son who has a great love of life.

[@dido.the.side.h0646]

rly?? My brothers and I are all so different - I would say they're very well adjusted and I'm defo not. I don't think parents have that much influence on kids' personality tbh... But yh Marlee is lovely and here son seems cool too

[@PrettyGuardian]

@@dido.the.side.h0646 Well, you're wrong.

[@RaymondHng]

@@dido.the.side.h0646 You certainly do. Over time, you learn how your parents are able to push your buttons.That knowledge you gained from experience is something you apply when you interact with other people in your life.

[@elizaheathen]

this might not have any relation, but THANK YOU for showing all of Marlee's signs in full and not cutting them out of frame. I commented on a previous CBS interview with Millicent Simmonds that regularly cut off her signs, and I just want to say this was SUCH an enjoyable watch :) ASL is a beautiful language.

[@gregXxo]

I've seen interviews where the interviewers were looking at her interpertor most if the time instead of her

[@robyndismon394]

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I am hard of hearing. My eardrum perforated when I was 4 years old on a flight from Guam to California. When I watch CBS Sunday morning on KZbin, there are no closed captions and I do not see any names for the people being interviewed or interviewing. It is a shame that so many shows are Closed Captioned and this one will not use closed captions for KZbin. I thought Pogue was Poe.

[@LaLeeRu]

What a fabulous comment. Thank you for noting this!

[@RaymondHng]

This movie was extremely enhanced by having three actors who are deaf: Troy Kotsur and Marlee Matlin, who play Ruby's parents, and Daniel Durant, who plays her older brother. This movie is a must-see for anyone who enjoys movies. On Rotten Tomatoes it rated 96/95 (critics/audience). Bring a handkerchief; you'll need it. I needed one and did not have it.

[@suzannadannaTARDIS]

Absolutely. I keep watching it, and I'm glad I purchased it. Hoping CODA paves the way for many more movies starring deaf actors.

[@MelissaThompson432]

I didn't realize somebody came to her to ask her to be the only deaf actor on the project. I'm not surprised, but I am glad, that she held out for authenticity.

[@mililaniman]

This is a beautiful story. I was born with a physical disability, and I have acted in several plays over the years. This motivates me to continue for more opportunities to get involved in the performing arts

[@moisemensah8233]

Very proud of you. Wish you nothing but utter happiness!

[@r27kristo21]

🙌🙌🙌🎉

[@bellewether4534]

Agreed. I have a couple of neurological disabilities but always loved acting. Sadly, I gave it up after college because I only ever got roles if I didn't mention my disability status (i can just about "pass" as non-disabled with a lot of effort but choose not to any more because I'm proud of who I am). However, folks like Marlee Matlin give me hope. I actually auditioned (as my authentic self) for a local theatre group after watching CODA and I got in! I'll be in a lead role for a Shakespeare performance in the summer and I can't wait :)

[@donnavannostrand2378]

She was blessed to have Henry Winkler - he is a saint. Love him and her.

[@jefrossman7546]

How are you?

[@pamklein4320]

I totally agree! Amazing! All choked up! Love her and Henry Winkler (and his wife)!!!!! 🤟🏼💖🤩

[@chrisfinch8637]

Marlee Matlin is such a sweet soul, along with her long life interpreter, Jack Jason. Her roles in film and on television, while deaf, really speak so much for others who are the same or different from those who actually can speak or hear. Praise Marlee! 🤟🏻❤️😊

[@Kim-lc3fv]

At least with the covid pandemic, the news conferences held by various international governments have all used sign interpreters. That has been progress and remarkable to see.

My grandma was deaf...she met my grandfather at a dance....he was the fiddle player, she danced, the rest is history...

Awwwww! This is soooo sweet! You brought happy tears to my eyes and joy in my heart………❤️

Such an intelligent, dignified and warm person. Wishing her continued success and breakthroughs for her and the community.

[@okamiwolf250]

I showed Coda to my family last night on a whim instead of watching the red carpet show, and everyone really liked it! When we got back to the Oscars it ended up winning a few awards! Pretty happy, the cast and crew really deserve the praise.

[@sarahnichols9639]

I love her. And she never disappoints in any project I see her in.

[@rufiredup90]

She is so beautiful and her family is gorgeous! I’m so happy that she never stopped acting and that her role in CODA was given to her. She and her co-stars killed it in CODA! Brilliant actor!!

[@carmencouch9787]

What an inspiration Marlee is!! Sweet smile, kind words & definitely on a mission to help others in the world of hearing loss 🤗

[@ysalvarita]

seen CODA a few hours ago and i loved it. the performances of the four leads are funny, heartwarming and inspiring. i cried ❤️

[@kokoken1]

I had the pleasure of meeting Marlee once. I was such a big fan of the '90s show "Reasonable Doubts," which she did with Mark Harmon. I was posting on the bulletin boards (OLD internet), and Jack Jason said Marlee had been invited to be the Walt Disney World "Celebrity of the Week." She invited me as her guest. It was a thrill. She thanked me for all the posts and wanted to know what I did for a living. I worked for The Orlando Sentinel in sports, and THAT opened a door of conversation. It was only about 15 minutes, but she is just a delightful woman.

[@sherrybrown5295]

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who remembered that show. I knew who the actors were but couldn't remember the name of it. I also watched and was bummed when it was canceled.

[@theorragames9729]

My Dad and I loved that show.

[@aggedyran]

She is phenomenal and I have always respected her for her strength and courage. Thank you for showing her sign!

[@spiderliliez]

I just finished watching CODA. Maaaannn, what an amazing film. It touches you deep! I'm so grateful to see it. What a great cast! I've always been a big fan of Matlin since "Reasonable Doubts" in the 90s. I was just this little kid who just started learning english and I was watching that series, but I was so in awe of her acting and what she can do even with her disability. She was such an inspiration!

[@YudhaNurachman]

It's a brilliant actress deaf she inspires us as a normal person because she never thinks about being deaf as impossible to be a great actress and she told us something "If u feel your weakness with a condition, Rising from darkness also develops ur self-being better more than this and the most important, please never give up, keep fighting for ur future, because everybody has dreams have to get it" So please for everybody do not give up, okay😊😊😊

[@KL-sw5xi]

She's a talented actress and I wish her continued success!

[@gabriellastauffer]

I really wish this film was out beyond Apple TV because I want to show it to everyone!

[@AdrianApollo]

It's back in movie theaters now for one week! (until April 7, 2022)

[@mramirez5239]

People desperately underestimate the empowerment a healthy, mature, platonic mentor brings to an individual's life. Those mentors (I have one) truly ARE a God-send. Marlee had that 1000% correct! I am such a fan of her work and just feel such pride every time I see her, her work, and her representation appear onscreen.

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

The Guy who played the deaf son in CODA was Moritz in Deaf West's Spring Awakeming and he was amazing along with Marleen

[@dengarmuzikbukankritikartis]

I cried watching this video. my 1st introduction to Marlee was via Reasonable Doubts (which aired in my country a bit later after the show ended its run on American TV) and only after that I knew about her winning an Oscar for Children Of A Lesser God and a few days ago about her relationship with the late William Hurt. such a strong woman through and through and I'm genuinely happy knowing she has a beautiful family and CODA's success.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I majored in English/French and I was a hospital chaplain. I have always admired you, Marlee Matlin. I have always considered you to be a quality actress who is smart and who deserves every accolade. You are definitely a trailblazer. I took sign in grad school and never practiced it. I admire you and I cannot say enough that you are a beacon of light for women, hearing and deaf. Thank you for being so courageous.

[@bakenumber4]

Marlee Marlin is an angel sent from God she is of course talented and beautiful but more importantly she helps people with disabilities feel excepted by society and main stream entertainment. And its because of Marlee I want to say someone extremely close to me is profoundly deaf too, so thank you Marlee for just being you.. please stay well

[@Voxann]

Jeez... finally CC on this Sunday Morning video because of Marlee Matlin. Please keep it up for all future Sunday Morning videos!! Comment on this to MAKE NOISE!!! The reason why I DON'T SUBSCRIBE is because of LACK OF CC. Deaf people skip videos that don't have CC and move on to other videos that are more accessible and enjoyable to watch. That's a FACT.

Have liked Marlee since "Children of a Lesser God." I also like "Reasonable Doubt" and wish it was on DVD. I remember she guested on "the Practice" as a woman who had killed the man who raped and murdered her young daughter. Ellanor, played by Camryn Manheim, is also fluent in sign, and this one scene where they are arguing in sign, not a word spoken aloud, over Marlee's refusal to be defended was so incredibly powerful.

[@cheri7054]

I kinda wished she hadn't told us about the abuse and the car ride home. It ruins the movie. I understand Marlee was abused but I bet many people in movies and onset keep stories of actors behavior private. That part of the interview should have been deleted. She will be blackballed from Hollywood. If one is raping women then come forward but even then people will discredit you. Look how long some of these actors take before they have consequences

Could be unrelated but a lot of d/Deaf people struggle with extra mental health challenges they can lead to addiction. The isolation, stigma, discrimination faced and just the effort of living in a non inclusive hearing world can be beyond draining in itself. Plus access to health care esp therapy is so much more limited or off limits for some. She's got it together now despite falling to drugs to cope years ago when she was barely 20 in Hollywood.
