Compare and Contrast Marlee Matlin

[erin.o]

My own experience is that I was born in 1992 in California; Marlee was born in Illinois in 1965. We were both deaf, but I lost my hearing at two years old and Marlee lost her hearing at the age of 18 months old. I went to California School for the Deaf in Fremont, California; Marlee went to the mainstreamed classes near home. I currently go to Shasta College; Marlee went to Harper College.

Any other opinion? Us are deaf.

Thank you!

So, um basically you have absolutely nothing in common aside from both being born hearing and becoming deaf as toddlers ...

Overrated actress. I bet Academy award commitee used her disability as an excuse to make them look "good."


Anyways, back to subject -I don't see the point of comparing between OP and Martlin.

She showed a lot of talent in the movie that she was awarded the Oscar for. I can't do what she was able to do. Can you? :roll:

One more salient point. Matlin is a modest person who does not run around begging people to compare her to others.

Hmmm..thinking about it, many famous people don't publicity compare themselves to others. At least not that I know of.

Marlee isn't hung up on labels and prefers to talk about a variety of subjects other than deafness.

I highly doubt it. She is living in a place were a person's whole net worth is based on how one looks and presents themselves. And, she's presenting herself to an entirely hearing group of shallow self absorbed people. There is not a great many deaf/Deaf/HoH(or hearing) people who are up to the task.

It's not all red carpets and roses, it's political and superficial, you have to be a tough person emotionally to stand out in that crowd.
