Description: Portrait of Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Arizona in 1989 (taken by photographer Ithaka Darin Pappas). Matlin first made a name for herself in Hollywood playing Sarah Norman in the acclaimed 1986 feature film "Children Of A Lesser God" alongside actor William Hurt. The role earned her both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. At the time she was the youngest actress to have received an Academy Award and until today remains the only deaf performer to have ever earned an Oscar. She has since been nominated for two additional Golden Globe Awards and four Emmy Awards. In 2009 she received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. In 2021, Matlin starred in Coda (Child Of Deaf Adults), playing the role of Jackie Rossi alongside of Emilia Jones, Troy Kotsur and Eugenio Derbez. The project earned Matlin one of that year's Crystal Awards (WIF: Women In Film Honorees).
