Launching into the Hollywood stratosphere at age 19 with her Academy Award®-winning performance in Children of a Lesser God, Matlin became a household name with just one film under her belt. A richly deserved honor for her raw and immersive performance, the recognition also came with a tidal wave of responsibility and layered expectations from both the hearing and deaf communities that Matlin had to contend with while hiding painful secrets in her personal life.
