She can’t stand inequality, in her own life or anyone else’s.
As an activist, Matlin helped push through legislation in the US requiring closed captioning on TV and streaming sites. She is now working on a project about how Prince Philip’s mother, who was deaf, rescued a Jewish family during the second world war. In The West Wing, she played the pollster Joey Lucas. On TV, she has picked up four Emmy nominations – one for her role in the all-time classic Seinfeld episode The Lip Reader, playing Jerry’s girlfriend. Matlin, 55, is still the youngest best actress winner and the only deaf actor to win an Academy Award. The pair have been working together since 1985, just before she won the best actress Oscar at 21 for her first film role, playing a young deaf woman in the 1986 drama Children of a Lesser God – beating Sigourney Weaver (who was up for Aliens), Jane Fonda, Kathleen Turner and Sissy Spacek. She is not a woman to mince her words – which are translated from American Sign Language (ASL) by her longtime interpreter and producing partner, Jack Jason, who is also on the call from his front room. She sits straight-backed, her focus sharp. Speaking from her home in Los Angeles, she is funny and warm, but there is something intense about her, almost intimidating. I can’t imagine anyone not listening to Matlin.
