Marlee Matlin on Larry King Live (Subtitles)

[@cplrod7528]

I can't remember a time or an instance when I wasn't completely impressed by Marlee. I am wowed by her each time I see her.

[@MariAnKenobi]

What was this?? "Let's pick out every horrible, traumatic thing in Marlee's book and grill her on that!"?? Is this how you interview someone?

[@steph1212ful]

I love how the translater was saying it how should would say it and she is an amazing actress

[@harshmnr]

He is called an interpreter but yeah they are supposed to talk emotionally etc just like the emotion the person is putting in when signing. Jack is really great and I love his relationship with Marlee. ~:~

[@wsiklogfh]

marlee speaks very highly of her husband in the book, he must be a really great guy!

[@softballfreak22]

I'm the sister of someone who is deaf, she has been deaf since she was 18 months old, I learned to sign before I could talk due to it. My mother picked my name because she was watching Children of a lesser god while waiting to deliver. I am proud to have my name, it symbolizes great strength. I too was a victim from the time i was 12 to a few months after my 19th birthday. I never told anyone for 7yrs. It's not easy, But once you get that first dropping of the bomb out, it gets easier. Anyone who is struggling with any form of abuse should know, it's not just tall tales, people are there for you to reach out to, you just need to take that first step to taking your own personal power back. I look up to Marlee Matlin a lot, she is a very strong woman, and if I one day end up with the acting career i've dreamed about, I hope i can work with her.

[@softballfreak22]

Do you have an issue with people who are different than you? Do you realize that the deaf are actually more intelligent? Why don't you grow up.

[@aliannaguevara2439]

Marlee is just wow, she overcame so much in her life and she still is. She's a true leader in this world

[@Bfolks84]

Wow!!! Go interpreter! He's rockin' it!

[@TwilightRomy]

I´m so sorry for everything she´s gone through. Two molestations and an abusive relationship and drug rehab is more than one person should have to carry. She´s so strong though. She´s a great inspiration for no matter the hearing OR the deaf. Marlee is just incredible!

[@georgetollisonbuffett]

There was no abusive relationship.

[@tsntana]

Jack's a very good interpreter. At least from my perspective as a hearing person. He's very expressive and accurate. With someone like him as an interpreter for a deaf person, I'd feel like I'm talking to a hearing person.

[@wsiklogfh]

marlee is so incredible, by every aspect, i love her so much!!!!!

[@kyleerose101]

It makes me so upset that this lady had the audacity to call Marlee handicapped. She could do more than that lady ever could, she's won awards, she was on Dancing with the Stars, and all that lady ever does is sit there and make biased judgements about people.. The only thing that makes her different is that she can't hear and that hasn't held her back from making amazing accomplishments

[@memel5206]

Yeah, the anchorwoman is soo inconsiderate and embarrassing. She doesn't even leave Marlee enough time to answer her questions. She constantly cuts her off. What a mess.

[@MISSPHOTOGENICBABY]

I can't stand this women! She's so rude omg I'm just glad Marlee made the best of it and corrected her

[@EntFan1]

I love the way she expresses herself. She's beautiful!

[@PeterHorsfieldChangingtheGame]

I am so impressed with this womam! Her disabilities did not stopped her from continuing to be a symbol of inspiration for all of us. She just proved us all that no matter what struggles you have in life, it should not be your point of breaking down and giving up but instead look up to it as your source of strength to beat all odds. I feel motivated knowing the story of this extra ordinary person, Ms. Marlee Matlin. Isextraordinary Information with Inspiration

[@RiTaAA1201]

what the hell?! that interviewer needs to be punished for what she has done to Marlee. Seriously, have some respect for god's sake! I truly admire Marlee, she has proven to be a wonderful person and she's also an excellent actress.

[@ImmortalfireTheMod]

RiTaAA1201 Its Joy Behar, she has no respect for anything.

[@dinahestes5213]

Shame on the interviewer for not showing her interpreter by her. No CC!! We are lost..... Grrrrrr!

[@dinahestes5213]

CC was too small! I admire M.M.

[@46foryounger]

Wow this is heartbreaking 💔 I had no idea that the character she played in Children of a Lessor God was similar to her own life experiences. It sad to think that she had these tragic circumstances to pull from for that role. She’s such an amazing woman.

[@BestPiggy]

she's been with him for awhile. they are like best friends. and i believe he is her personal interpreter

[@yeseniarodriguez4158]

BestPiggy yes they are best friends and they are also business partners and yes he's her professional interpreter he goes everywhere she goes it's great to see the relationship

[@fajita2]

"You just need to open the door, walk out the door and talk to ANYONE you see and say 'I need help'." wow. such truth.

[@aricmackenthun1206]

Marlee. I consider myself to be one of your biggest fans. You are such a great person and a really great actress. I wish you nothing but the best for you and your husband for the rest of your lives. Good luck with everything.

[@qkaelo]

I've been a great fan of Marlee for a long time since I first watched the movie in "Children of the Lesser God" and I was inspired by seeing her in the movie. She's really a great actress and she's the role that I've been looking up to even improve myself with my own identify including my deafness and etc. Now, she have the courage to face her dark secret, and to overcome it. It surely will help thousands of deaf and hard of hearing victims! I love you, Marlee! :)

[@Cammygirl159]

He is her personal friend who interprets for her all of the time :) He's great!

[@ruthr4712]

You have that a bit backwards. She hired him to be her interpreter, then they became friends.

[@Cammygirl159]

@@ruthr4712 wasn't really implying that they were friends before he became her interpreter but that they are good personal friends and he is her personal interpreter (as opposed to just a one time hired interpreter).

[@ruthr4712]

@@Cammygirl159 my comment stands.

[@lilcanadia]

Is it just me or did it seem like Joy Behar was talking down to Marlee? Always calling her a "good girl, a very nice girl" She's a woman for crying out loud! And has probably experienced more hardships (and overcome them) than Behar ever has. (The interpreter was great, too!)

[@He.Who.Shall.Remain.Genderless]

Really? It’s one thing to notice the struggles of someone you’ve never met, it’s a whole different thing to speculate on the lack of struggles in another. Quit being ridiculous. Quit judging everyone out loud. We get it you don’t like Joy because of what you saw here or possibly other segments. You don’t have to attack her personally.

[@yasminbeatricebahaoui4697]

such a strong woman. ❤

[@Duuude42]

My gosh Joy is such an awkward interviewer...she goes from asking about Marlee's molestation, an incredibly emotional topic, to asking about her 'phenomenal' sex life...someone needs to be schooled on sensitivity...

[@wsiklogfh]

she really is, i love her!!

[@sweetlikez]

thank you!!!!

[@MultiMarvelGeek]

Would you folks kindly subtitle/caption this?

[@lambyiii]

love you marlee!!! i fell in love during celebrity apprentice.

[@sammydrumm]

Wait she called her handicap really, I don't believe Deaf people r handicap they just can't hear. I'm hearing

[@insertnamehere8723]

You do know what the word disability means? If you're otherwise unable to do something without the assistance of prosthetics and/ or rely on technology to function like a normal person then you are in fact handicapped. Let's not confuses the definition with a load of bs sentiment.

[@denniskronholm9179]

Deaf people however constitute a linguistic and cultural minority and doesn’t see themselves as disabled. The disability only occurs when not getting access to an interpreter in the hearing world. Otherwise they are disabled in the deaf community. They can do anything that hearing persons can except of hearing.

[@deafgagirl]

what a wonderful person Marlee is.. Love her. She is without a doubt a good person inside and out.

[@MomSaysImCool]

I love the "look up to" sign at 3:17.

[@heathershantz9221]

She signed mom and dad so her interpreter just said parents. ASL to English is not a direct word for word translation as ASL is its own complete language so things change a little in the process.

[@wsiklogfh]

this woman is a symbol, a example to be followed by everyone, i mean she went through all that crap, the drugs and the abuse, and she let none of that to grind her down, she remained this sweet beautiful, and kindest of women that we all know and love today, MARLEE YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

[@anthonyariola395]

That translater is amazing…

[@MrSlimePDX]

I was so excited to see Marlee on Larry King...then when I read "Joy Behar interviews..." I just sighed. "Maybe I can just ignore her input."

[@LA12312]

WOoww. Amazing.

[@corystajduhar]

Why does her interpreter always embellish what she says? It's annoying. At 3:15 he says, "But, I don't know the statistics." All she signs is "but" and shakes her head. Even interpreting the non-verbal cues, the most he should interpret is "but, I don't know." Throwing in words like "statistics" when she said nothing of the sort is speaking for her, not interpreting what she says.

[@NaeOnYT]

I agree with Lilia; I think they've been working together for so long that they've built up a sort of repertoire and understanding. For instance, around 2:00, she signs, "I knew it was wrong," and Jack says that. When she nods, he repeats the sentence, even though she didn't sign it again. There are probably some body language cues and quirks in her language that he's gotten used to translating, and it seems like she's fine with it.

[@KisDraga]

He's not just translating her ASL but interpreting what she's trying to convey. That and he knows her well enough to understand the undertone and nuances to what she's saying. He does a great job. Don't forget she reads lips. She knows what he's sayings as he interprets her words. As rare as it may be she has corrected him when he has misinterpreted or stumbled over something she was trying to say. They are an amazing team.

[@MatteoRossi-r2u]

at 21 years old you don't beat jane fonda, sissy spacek, Kathleen Turner and sigourney weaver for an oscar " marlee did it. marlee is alluring.....

[@georgetollisonbuffett]

She made it only because of her boyfriend Bill Hurt.

[@hachikolan]

marlee matlin is gorgeous.. i love her.. the way she gives her signs.. her smiles.. her actions.. everything..

[@snpetsmom1]

Excuse me- “ you are a good girl “?! Not to mention Joy Behar is verbally attacking Ms. Matlin. Ms. Matlin is so gracious and articulate.

[@carltonstrail6583]

No captioned on some of Marlene Martin's movies while being interviewed by hearing people

[@sweetlife031]

Does Marlee wear hearing aids? I'm just asking. I love het a lot. And no, being deaf doesn't make you handicapped at all whatsoever :(

[@investmentbroker]

I love this woman, shes so awesome! Go Marlee!

[@melissanicole1969]

She's a good actor and a beautiful women I love her show and movie thanks marlin

[@VinayakaHalemane]

Wow! She is so pretty!

[@vedacorvus]

I love Marlee so much! She's such an inspirational woman.

[@jgrj52]

I wish I knew how to use ASL

[@rawritsjazzy]

it's because of people like Marlee Matlin that make me proud that I'm going to finally learn sign language in college this fall :D

[@RoflMcCopterson]

The translator's a fucking boss.

[@charmedgirl90]

It must be hard for the translator to relay these kind of things, not just due to the content, but also for having to give what she is saying justice.

[@MastersGraduate2023]

I wish she could hear & wish her happiness.

[@WizardFreak478]

deafness is not a handicap

[@tootybooddy8184]

+WizardFreak478 what. of course it is a handicap. try living deaf for 5 minutes. you are literally handicapped, everything changes.

[@WizardFreak478]

only a handicap if you make it one!

[@yehuditjoditfoster1548]

I did not see subtitle or CC

[@patna4881]

WHERE, WHERE were the subtitles. pshaw!

[@mikegood228]

Marlee Matlin DETROIT!!!

[@Casanacle]

She is for every deaf out here..i'm myself from québec canada....I speak LSQ... but lot's of us are mixed togheter some time a years.. you do know all what i'm talking about

[@jnettie321]

@TheAustenLady You know this was one of the first videos I saw of Marlee and now that I have seen almost every Marlee video on KZbin I see what you mean. I saw videos from waaaaay back and he was her interpreter. He is essentially very good! This particular video he did a lot of adding which bothered me at first... Thanks for the reply :)

[@iloveujohnnyrzeznik]

Reading her book and reading about her life has only made me love her more! She is such a strong, courageous woman for sharing these details of her life and she has helped me overcome struggles of my own. Thank you Marlee! And also I find this interview hilarious just in the sense that Marlee looks like she wants to punch Joy in the face! Come on, if you're going to interview someone (let alone MARLEE MATLIN!) you think you would educate yourself and have some compassion for such serious topic

[@birdieSLP]

Marlee!!!!! Your the best =]

[@hashfromplan9]

@aussieartist isnt the interviewer Joy Behar?? i dont watch the view >,

[@karlaquinonez5490]

YOU ARE BRAVE!!!

[@PersonOfBook]

Can u express that much with sign language? I mean for example how would you sign names???

[@Kahn4]

that interpreter is very good. He seems to know the emotions and what shes thinking.

[@clover13x]

@girloffaith16 whats a CODA? is it different from just interpreting because there's no pause is there

[@CasperV1982]

Child Of Deaf Adult

[@wsiklogfh]

i another interview (and in the book) marlee said that she knew that what had happen was fawl and wrong, but she didn't told to her parents, because her father would had found the babysitter and the schoolteacher and he would have killed them both, and she did't wanted her father to end up in jail, she wanted him to stay with her, that is why she never said anything to them, she knew that what happened whas not right, but she kept it all inside

[@propugnatorfidei]

@90uplands1 As I understand it, he's been Marlee Matlin's interpreter for decades. He's probably more like a friend who's welcome to chime in.

[@ReillySkinner]

@tigerwoman why do you wish she can hear then?

[@wwfgold8]

Marlee is AMAZING! How/why is this show called Larry King Live anymore ?

[@sa2nti]

Can anybody please tell me who the interpreter is, what his name is and how do I contact him through his email.

[@2002films]

Marlee Matlin is a amazing woman

[@MultiMarvelGeek]

So...where are the subtitles?

[@ItsMeKelso]

Just making sure i understand ,..so ASL is proper but there is a more simple way to say things? :)

[@cawwierulz]

@clover13x a CODA is a Child of Deaf Adults so it most likely that ASL was his first language, its not different from interpreting its just his natural, first language

[@HOHNancy]

@nwyancy I've had interpreters who are men, so your point is? :)

[@girloffaith16]

@PersonOfBook Yes. You would be surprised at how much can be expressed with ASL. It is its own language

[@Casanacle]

Did I just notice at 7:41 her lips said in french '' pas oublier '' ?? lol...LSQ and ASL do often mix up in the lips lol.

[@ScorchinScooter]

I love Marlee!!! She is fascinating and beautiful. Also very funny!! Cool chick!!

[@Mebako]

Can she allow her to answer the damn question without cutting her off? DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

[@jhener2951]

that interviewer was so ignorant....

[@Theravenlingii]

It's so sad, That's really what ppl do we mask the hurt and pain with drugs and other things... I can admire her for staying strong and making it through.. I can't say I'v done the best job but I have tried!!

[@JSandwich13]

THANK YOU! Some one who gets it! normal is just hwat people use to desvribe the majority of people....i am sure people would be trying to fix hearing people if the majority were Hard Of Hearing! etc... i guess it is hard to understand unles you live with it or have experienced it through others..

[@RealTime88]

@hoov37 Why?

[@ndlamont01]

@Boyonspace Actually, a LOT I'd say the majority of hearing people are afraid to say the word "Deaf". Everytime I tell someone I'm deaf and we get to talking. They'll come back and ask "So, when did you become 'hearing impaired' or 'having hearing problems' or 'lose the ability to hear' etc...". Deaf is so hard for hearing people to say at times. So Joy Behar was right for asking so that the public new the "politically correct" term. It was smart of her to ask so she didn't say the wrong thing.

[@xj129]

@sa2nti he is her personal interpreter and goes with her everywhere

[@wsiklogfh]

@Anisj90 welcome to the "I Adore Marlee Matlin" club!

[@CorpseBride64]

I know Joy likes to get straight to the point and perhaps they discussed what would be asked before the interview. But, if not, the questions are a bit... tacky. There is a more delicate & respectful way to ask about past abuse.

[@lambyiii]

The truth is, there ARE ignorant people out there. Not only Joy Behar. You can teach people the correct way without calling them morons and idiots in the process. It's a GOOD thing that on national television, someone is shown to be ignorant and at the same time is willing to learn the correct term. Terms change as time progresses and nobody knows the correct way of describing EVERY disability or disease. People are getting overly defensive on Marlee's part when it's not necessary.

[@StarbucksLessthan3]

I love her but the interviewer seemed rude and ignorant. The whole time I wanted her to shut up and let Marlee and Jack finish the interview.

[@kimberlyc3532]

She's not a victim; she's a survivor.

[@girloffaith16]

@PersonOfBook he wasn't really signing and speaking at the same time. ASL has its own grammar. Its impossible to think in two grammars at once

[@hmontes89]

No its just immoral that someone can think of hot sex with a person when said person brings up the fact that they were molested as a child.

[@PaulaAbdulRoxxxx6]

Jack, grew up with deaf parents :)

[@d0ntreply]

Hahaha, not being rude, but when Marlee said he was hot and then they showed his picture, I was not expecting that LOL.

[@sheldons7]

Shes a tough woman. I like how she overcame this BS. Once again, go Marlee

[@juliuscaesar9121]

Jodi West?

[@88motho]

she is a hero, very strong chatacter

[@lawknoxville]

Who substituted for Larry King?

[@Nilshaira3]

The book is about her life and experience. It's autobiographical.

[@JRRDPR]

sIGN LANGUAGE IS ONE I WANT TO LEARN BUT I DON'T THINK I COULD BE THIS GOOD AT IT AS THIS GUY.
