Although her parents never discouraged Matlin from acting, they were convinced Hollywood would never accept a profoundly deaf actress.

His passion for supporting others was the result of a lifetime struggle with undiagnosed dyslexia; told he was both “lazy and stupid” as a child, he was, in fact, neither. A champion for children of all abilities, he mentored Matlin’s subsequent breakout career from theater to film.

At age 21, Matlin became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar—one of only four actresses to receive that honor for a film debut.
