CLINT MILLER ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FIFTEEN MINUTES MARLEE MATLIN BIOGRAPHY Marlee Matlin received worldwide critical acclaim for her motion pictnre debut in Paramount Pictures' "Children of a Lesser God," a performance the fihn community chose to recognize in with its highest honor -- the Academy Award for Best Actress. At age 21, she became the youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar and one of only four actresses to receive that honor for a film debut. ill addition to the Oscar, Marlee was honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama. That same year she was honored by Harper's Bazaar Magazine as one of the "The Ten Most Beautiful Women" and Esquire Magazine's "Women We Love." Born and raised in Morton Grove, Illinois, Marlee started acting at the age of seven in the role of Dorothy in "The Wizard ofOz" at a children's theatre company in Chicago. After several years of performing on stage throughout Chicago and the midwest, Marlee was discovered in a Chicago stage production of Mark Medoff's Tony Award-winning play, "Children of a Lesser God." Following an extensive international search for the lead role, the producers of the film version selected her to star opposite William Hurt. Marlee followed her film debut with a second feature, "Walker," starring Ed Harris. While filming in Nicaragua, Marlee took time to visit hearing and hearing impaired children, as she has done extensively throughout her travels to Australia, England, Italy, Germany, Russia, Croatia, Mexico and Canada. Marlee went on to star in the French featnre "The Man in the Golden Mask, " co-starring Jean Reno. She appeared in two featnre films in 1992 -- "The Linguini Incident" with David Bowie and Rosanna Arquette and Robert Altman's "The Player". Marlee also starred in 20th Century Fox's "Hear No Evil," a suspense thriller co-starring Martin Sheen and in MGMfUnited Artists' AIDS drama "It's My Party, " written and directed by 2 Randal Kleiser. In 2005, Marlee made an auspicious return to features with the critcally acclaimed documentary/feature, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" Marlee made her television debut, starring with Lee Remick in CBS' "Bridge to Silence." Marlee went on to star for two seasons in the NBC Televison series, "Reasonable Doubts" opposite Mark Harmon. She was twice nominated for both a Golden Globe Award as Best Actress in a Dramatic Television Series as well as the People's Choice Awards. Marlee was nominated for two Emmy awards for her guest turns on NBC's "Seinfeld and CBS's "Picket Fences." Marlee also starred in "Against Her Will: The Carrie Buck Story," a movie for Lifetime Television in which she was nominated for a CableACE Award for Best Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series. Marlee broke down yet another barrier with the role, playing a character who was not deaf. "I have always resisted putting limitations on myself, both professionally and personally, " said Matlin. "This role gave me the chance to do something I'd never done before. It was a new challenge for me and was a very rewarding experience. " Marlee returned to CBS' "Picket Fences" for two seasons to reprise her Emmy-nominated role. Coincidentally, Marlee's character on Picket Fences gave birth on the same day she gave birth in real life, a feat repeated exactly 43 years to the day by Lucille Ball on "I Love Lucy" on the same network, CBS. For seven seasons, Marlee starred opposite Martin Sheen, Jimmy Smits and Bradley Whitford as pollster, Joey Lucas, on NBC's Emmy Award winning series, "The West Wing." She has also guest-starred on numerous shows including NBC's "Sweet Justice" with Cicely Tyson, as well as Showtime's anthology series "The Outer Limits." Marlee also starred in HBO's original feature, "Dead Silence," opposite James Garner and starred in the Showtime feature, "Freak City," opposite Natalie Cole. Marlee also guest starred on HBO's Emmy Award-winning series, "The Larry Sanders Show," ABC's comedy "Spin City," on NBC's award winning drama "ER," and CBS' "Judging Amy." Marlee received her third Emmy Award nomination for her work on ABC's "The Practice, and guest starred on and NBC's "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit receiving her fourth Emmy nomination for her work. Marlee also guest starred on ABC's award winning "Desperate Housewives, "My Name is Earl", "CSI: New York," and "Nip/Tuck." In 2006 Marlee hosted a special 2 hour edition of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

  • Actress Marlee Matlin Relied on the Lensar Laser
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACTRESS MARLEE MATLIN RELIED ON THE LENSAR LASER SYSTEM FOR HER CHALLENGING CATARACT SURGERY Performed by Dr. Kerry Assil, the Procedure Restored Matlin’s Eyesight and Will Air Today on “The Doctors” TV Show ORLANDO, FLA., Nov. 07, 2013 – The LENSARLaser System will be featured today on “The Doctors,” as the Emmy award-winning television show describes how Dr. Kerry Assil, using LENSAR Inc.’s cataract surgery technology, helped save actress Marlee Matlin’s vision. The success of the eye surgery held significant importance for Matlin, who is the only deaf performer to win the Academy Award for Best Actress in a leading role (for Children of a Lesser God). She and Dr. Assil chose LENSAR’s technology for her cataract surgery because she wanted to ensure the best-possible results, as her procedure was more complicated than usual, due to the density of the cataract. “I was losing the ability to read, drive and do daily tasks, and with hearing loss I rely on my eyesight to an even greater extent,” said Matlin. “I knew my case was complicated, and I understood there could be trouble down the road if things weren’t done correctly, so I really wanted the best-available technology and the best doctor. I have to say, the results show that I made the right decision with the LENSAR Laser System and Dr. Assil.” Dr. Assil said he felt confident about Matlin’s cataract procedure in part because he would be using the LENSAR Laser System. “Her relative youth coupled with the advanced nature of her cataract presented challenges,” he said.

In a 2011 interview, King noted that he knew from an early age that he was "going to go into show business." Toward that goal, after graduating from a Scranton public high school, he applied to New York City's Juilliard School, one of the premier performing arts conservatories in the country. Unfortunately, his family could not afford Juilliard's high tuition, and King instead attended the more affordable Mercyhurst University, a Catholic liberal arts college in Erie, Pennsylvania. Mercyhurst had a small theater program at the time, which King later learned to appreciate, explaining that he received invaluable personal attention from the faculty and was allowed to explore and grow his talent at his own pace. However, he left college after three years without graduating, driven, he said, by a desire to move to New York and "make it as an actor." In New York, King worked multiple jobs, such as waiting on tables and unloading buses at night, while studying acting during the day at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

  • Jennifer Beals Letter
    Hello, I am very proud to announce the publication of my friend and colleague Jennifer Beals’ photographic memoir of her experience on a show that we both were on for six years, The L Word. Jennifer has kindly decided to donate the proceeds from the book to charity. Among the recipients, I Live Here. Jennifer is a talented photographer and has a unique and terribly intimate view that has never been seen before. The book contains interviews with the cast and carefully preserved ephemera that she saved over the years. I hope you all will proudly support Jennifer’s very first book that documents years of working on a show that has meaning for so many around the world. Check out the book on line: http://lwordbook.com/ Hugs, Mia Kirshner A NOTE FROM JENNIFER BEALS Somewhere in the first season of The L Word, the show became synonymous not only with representation, sexuality and fashion but also with giving. We, as a cast, were invited to take part in numerous fundraisers for the gay community. The L Word was a catalyst for giving and we were happy to take part. Now that the show is over, I wanted this book to continue the tradition of giving that had become such a significant part of The L Word. I wanted to benefit ILH because like The L Word at its best, ILH is about the transformative nature of community and of art, or self-expression. Though the communities I Live Here supports may be eons away from the small community that was our L Word cast, we are still joined in our shared need to express ourselves and strengthened by the clarity and purpose that comes from doing so.

And indeed, while only a minor- ity of Americans have participated in or even watched a real trial, nearly all have read or watched multiple trials in the courthouses of popular culture. This pervasive engagement with fictional and symbolic court- room trials must influence what the public expects both in actual court- rooms and in American society as a whole. This essay has three parts. Part One seeks to establish how ubiqui- tous the image of the courtroom trial has been and remains in American literature, film, and television.

  • Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture
    Straddling (In)Visibility: Representations of Bisexual Women in Twenty-First Century Popular Culture Sasha Cocarla A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy in Women's Studies Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Sasha Cocarla, Ottawa, Canada 2016 Abstract Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, LGBTQ+ visibility has steadily increased in North American popular culture, allowing for not only more LGBTQ+ characters/figures to surface, but also establishing more diverse and nuanced representations and storylines. Bisexuality, while being part of the increasingly popular phrase of inclusivity (LGBTQ+), however, is one sexuality that not only continues to be overlooked within popular culture but that also continues to be represented in limited ways. In this doctoral thesis I examine how bisexual women are represented within mainstream popular culture, in particular on American television, focusing on two, popular programs (The L Word and the Shot At Love series). These texts have been chosen for popularity and visibility in mainstream media and culture, as well as for how bisexual women are unprecedentedly made central to many of the storylines (The L Word) and the series as a whole (Shot At Love). This analysis provides not only a detailed historical account of bisexual visibility but also discusses bisexuality thematically, highlighting commonalities across bisexual representations as well as shared themes between and with other identities. By examining key examples of bisexuality in popular culture from the first decade of the twenty- first century, my research investigates how representations of bisexuality are often portrayed in conversation with hegemonic understandings of gender and sexuality, specifically highlighting the mainstream "gay rights" movement's narrative of "normality" and "just like you" politics.
