Marlee Matlin CW 11 - Interview

[@1gaia]

What a lovely lady...and her interpreter is wonderful and so good at his job, incredible.

[@rawmark]

Her interpreter, Jack, is also her production business partner, and is also a CODA(Child of Deaf Adults) so his signing is extremely good. He's been with her for over 20 years. He was on stage with her when she accepted her Oscar.

[@queblevia]

MARLEE MATLIN, you absolutely rule! Despite of everything you've been through, you stil pull out head strong and absolutely marvelous. I ADORE AND LOVE YOU! (for real!) :D Thanks so much for posting this. Hope you get to post Marlee Matlin stuff. :)

[@dylanmac09]

Her interpreter is soo good!

[@Bryan198026]

I remember she played Amy Solwey in Law and Order: SVU. You get to hear her talk several times in that episode.

[@fishyflop]

Man, I wish I lived in New York so I could have come to that book signing... Thanks for posting this! :D

[@sweetFatima323]

OMG..she's so amazing. I can only dream of my signing getting that good. She's so beautiful and accomplished.

[@MsPunkrocker666]

I love Marlee! She is amazing!

[@xxcookiegirl94xx]

she is too adorable!

[@Bryan198026]

Yep. Sometimes if you lost our hearing as a child, you have even a little hearing in one ear the way Marlee does you might be able to pick up spoken language. So while it's not always very clear Marlee herself can and does speak. I've known quite a few folks like that. You can hear her talk in the SVU episodes she guest stars in.

[@lrosowsky]

anyone know where I can find a vid where she talks too? she's a beautiful and expressive signer!

[@PeterHorsfieldChangingtheGame]

a very lovely lady with great and amazing talents! im one of your biggest fan! Isextraordinary Information with Inspiration

[@booksandblades]

She's officially one of my idols :)

[@ReillySkinner]

why are people always referring her as "Deaf" as if thats all she'll be? she is capable of soo much more than these naive people see her as

[@wsiklogfh]

god' i love her!!!

[@Silencebound]

It is really great to see Marlee Maltin being interviewed for TV, but very extremely poorest video image uploaded here . . . Sigh.

[@becknnick4ever]

There are voice programs that u can talk and it will type it out for u

[@kevint6543]

@hammie1989 you're right, i could see she was looking at jack, but i mean, she WAS focussing most her attention directly on Marlee, but i guess she wanted to show she acknowledged the interpreter as well. we hearing people take advantage of not having to make eye contact when we can hear (an interpreter).

[@mawumba4]

I love Marlee. That is all.

[@SiHaNnI]

ANYONE love her as much as i do?

[@Nintendoman01]

@EverythingMe15 As far as I know, being deaf doesn't mean you can't talk. I think she just normally uses sign language.

[@Eev1s]

Apperently some deaf people prefer an interpreter of opposite sex so that people listening can really tell the difference between the interpreter and the person signing and not think that the voice belongs to the signer. Also he's been interpreting for her since Children of the lesser God so I think they are good friends and feel comfortable traveling together to places. Also he is really good interpreter:)

[@Feathersandploom]

That is a good question! However, Maybe they are good friends and she feels comfortable with him!! I really have no idea, I am just randomly guessing!

[@Bryan198026]

I think it has to do with the fact that, for lack of a better term, Normal people (although I hate that particular phrase with a passion), feel more comfortable addressing others like them than those with handicaps. I happen to be totally blind and we do get that sort of treatment sometimes if we happen to be in a public business with a sighted companion. Waiters and waitresses used to ask my sighted companions what I wanted.

[@StephenRong06181986]

she is really pretty

[@tapstar84]

Then, instead of "Normal" you could use the "hearing" or "seeing" Just an idea :)

[@fishyflop]

Actually I live in Chicago... far from both! But it's Marlee's home town.

[@winchesterboyz89]

@Duhwuntoono Yeah and eventually they came into a relationship, but it ended badly because he was abusive towards her.

[@Nintendoman01]

I'm not saying deaf people can't talk. I think you might've misread my comment.

[@ZtellaStar]

@kin1934 She turned deaf at the age of 18 months

[@nothingz4ever71]

wow y does she keep looking at the interpreter shes not interveiwing him its about marlee

[@airasweetie]

well i don´t wanna berude but that´s common knowledge that you look at the one who´s signing and not the interpretor. so funny when the interviewer constantly looks at the intepretor in the beginning. someone problaly sent her the message to look at marlee and not the interpretor.

[@Griffin9857]

try looking for her on the desparate housewives clip. you even get to hear her say "bitch" its funny.

[@lindsayissorad]

Sitting next to the lady. They clearly introduce him...

[@dylanmac09]

@cntwejstprtnd I'm actually taking the highest ASL class at school and know a lot of people in the interpreting program. Some have been interpreting for many years and are still nowhere near as good as that. But i understand some click.. and marlee and her interpreter definitely click! :)

[@dgb4000]

the last mimzy

[@EverythingMe15]

@Bryan198026 She can talk?

[@secretgirl47]

i am deaf i can talk how i use my speech teacher i can talk like normal kid

[@secretgirl47]

i have friend who deaf she don't need interper she have ci hearing aid when she 2 or 3 year old but i got ci hearing aid when i was 8 year old i still interpreter

[@al.threee]

Im deaf...and please add me because I really want to become actress..

[@whoregotshot3144]

she came out in family guy

[@Russell5892]

Deaf people prefer to pick interpreters they can trust, understand, and feel comfortable with. Marlee probably is friends with Jack and wants to support him and his business.

[@poitka80]

I would give anything for Marlee oe Sia to teach me sigh language!

[@Nintendoman01]

Seems that way.

[@sisterluke]

Can she talk?

[@littlemen9917]

Yes but I think she have 80% hear on the left ear I guess if I'm right or wrong?

[@CrazyBlonde2393]

that poor lady keeps looking back at the interpreter, not really what you are supposed to do LOL

[@Russell5892]

agreed. we hate that,

[@Hejabonden]

family guy !

[@andrewcolinwilson1]

and I guess she's not comfortable with talking at interviews without an interpreter.

[@madib8487]

i think shes an awesome actress, but when she gets asked to help at deaf fundraisers, she wouldn't go because she wasn't getting paid.

[@jwhaler82]

Sigh language??? Ahhhhh!
