"Delta camera mark. Marlee Matlin's career has spanned dozens of film and TV projects since she became the youngest person to win a Best Actress Academy Award. A pioneer representing deaf actors in Hollywood. Hi, my name is Marlee Matlin. The movie Children of a Lesser God is generating a lot of buzz, including a Best Actress nomination for newcomer Marlee Matlin. I remember that my heart started pounding the minute I saw her. Do you feel that you might be a sentimental favorite? Master of 12 and a 58, the hierarchess. I don't know. I don't either, because you know I'm in the bottom 3% academically. It's not. She was brilliant and she was hilarious. I hope you realize you are more than what people think you are. Be the difference and be loud."
