Actress Marlee Matlin visits NFHS

For Jenna Kramer, it was a dream come true.
The only deaf student in the Niagara Falls School system was sitting in a third-floor classroom at the high school Thursday afternoon, just a few feet away from the woman she says has inspired her dreams.
Standing at the front of the room, her hands tucked into the front pockets of jeans, actress Marlee Matlin had the undivided attention of a group of about 50 NFHS students and a group of teachers and administrators.

Matlin, the youngest actor to ever win an Oscar for Best Actress, says this memoir would never have happened if it weren’t for her six-week-stint on “Dancing with the Stars.”
“Doing ‘Dance’ really seemed to impact viewers. I got so many emails from all over the world telling me how my dancing really inspired them,” Matlin told Canada AM today from Los Angeles.
Their sense of inspiration compelled Matlin to pen her new autobiography. But as Matlin says, “I knew I’d have to tell people more about me than just being a woman who can’t hear music.”
The book’s title also holds double meaning, says Matlin. Read the rest of this entry »
