Marlee Matlin wouldn't change a thing - Bullseye with Jesse Thorn

In 1986, Marlee Matlin got her first movie role at the age of twenty. She'd been doing mostly community theater before and the role she got wasn't just any role. It was the lead part in a big Hollywood drama called Children of a Lesser God. The film wasn't just any big Hollywood drama, either, it was nominated for five Academy Awards including best picture and, for Matlin's part, best lead actress. And when the '87 Oscars rolled around, Marlee Matlin won. She became the youngest winner in the Best Actress category and the first deaf person to win an Academy Award. When a story like that happens in show business, it's not uncommon for that success to fizzle out. Matlin has since appeared in dozens of TV shows including Seinfeld, Law & Order: SVU and The West Wing. In 2021, she was nominated again for an Oscar this time for her supporting part in the best-picture winning film CODA. Earlier this year, Matlin was the subject of the documentary Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore. The film chronicles her life and career: her brilliant work as a performer, her efforts to make movies and TV more inclusive for deaf performers, and her own struggles with substance abuse and addiction. Marlee Matlin and her longtime interpreter Jack joined us to talk about the documentary and Marlee’s career in show business. The two also spoke to their working relationship and of over forty years and much more! 00:00 Intro/Oscars 01:18 About "Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore" 14:36 Children Of A Lesser God 29:24 Early Career and Sobriety 38:29 Deaf vs. Hearing experiences 41:46 Deaf actors and accessible media practices 52:46 Outro Earlier this year, Marlee Matlin was the subject of the documentary Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore.
