Marlee Beth Matlin (born August 24, 1965) is an American actress.
She is notable for being deaf and frequently [[DisabledCharacterDisabledActor cast as deaf characters]]. She won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Actress for her debut film performance in ''Film/ChildrenOfALesserGod''. Apart from being the first deaf winner, she was also the youngest person to win in that category at the age of twenty-one, a record she still holds. She also made history at the Tony Awards in 2016 for being the first deaf presenter for a show's performance, introducing the show in which she was making her Broadway debut, a Deaf West production of ''Theatre/SpringAwakening.''
Although Matlin (almost) always plays deaf characters, usually they will speak English for at least part of their screen time, either for dramatic or comedic effect as appropriate. This (naturally) reflects Matlin's own fluency in spoken English.
