Hollywood embraced me in the late '80s because there was a good project I was in and it was different. Nowadays, it's about corporate mentality, box office, youth.
I have always resisted putting limitations on myself, both professionally and personally.
Deaf people can do anything, except hear.
I was the youngest and only girl in a family of two older brothers.
At some point we have to stop and say, There's Marlee, not, There's the deaf actress.
You can do anything if you set your mind to it. Look out for kids, help them dream and be inspired. We teach calculus in schools, but I believe the most important formula is courage plus dreams equals success.
