Description

Critically acclaimed and award-winning actress Marlee Matlin reveals the illuminating, moving, and often surprising story of how she defied all expectations to become one of the most prolific and beloved actresses of our time in this powerful celebrity memoir. Marlee Matlin entered our lives as the deaf pupil turned custodian audiences fell in love with in Children of a Lesser God, a role for which she became the youngest woman ever to win a Best Actress Oscar. More than twenty years after her stunning big screen debut, the Golden Globe– and Emmy Award–nominated actress is an inspirational force of nature—a mother, an activist, and a role model for millions of deaf and hard- of-hearing people around the world seeking disability representation. In I’ll Scream Later, Marlee takes readers on the frank and touching journey of her life, from the frightening loss of her hearing at eighteen months old to the highs and lows of Hollywood, her battles with addiction and recovery, and the unexpected challenges of being thrust into the spotlight as an emissary for the deaf community. She speaks candidly for the first time about the troubles of her youth, the passionate and tumultuous two-year relationship with Oscar winner William Hurt that dovetailed with a stint in rehab, and her subsequent romances with heartthrobs like Rob Lowe, Richard Dean Anderson, and David E. Kelley. Though she became famous at the age of twenty-one, Marlee struggled all her life to connect with people, fighting against anyone who tried to hold her back. Her own mother often hid behind their communication barrier, and Marlee turned to drugs before she even started high school. However, she found in acting—with the encouragement of her mentor, Henry Winkler—a discipline, a drive, and a talent for understanding the human condition that belied her age and her inability to hear. By the time Hollywood embraced her, she had almost no formal training, a fact that caused many other deaf actors to give her the cold shoulder, even as she was looked upon as a spokesperson for their community. She has played memorable roles on wildly popular television shows such as Seinfeld, The West Wing, and The L Word, danced a show-stopping cha- cha-cha on Dancing with the Stars, and now, with uncompromising honesty and humor, Marlee shares the story of her life—an enduring tale of resilience and recovery that is an unforgettable lesson in following your dreams.

  • Great Book!!
Format: Hardcover
I really like this book!! I worked in a deaf nursing home and saw her at a convention several years ago. She's a beautiful woman. It's a truly interesting book about her life and those she's met and interacted with in Hollywood and elsewhere, from her young life to her married life. She says it like she sees it whether good or bad about someone and goes into detail about some of the trauma in her life. She is very open, almost too much at times, but I love her honesty and how she's sees things. Very interesting and insightful book. I highly recommend it whether you've experienced the deaf community or not. There's a lot to the book. ... show more

  • Engaging Reading about a Fascinating Actor
Format: Kindle
I’ve always liked Marlee Matlin and loved the movie Children of a Lesser God. She does a fantastic job of narrating her own story, growing up and making her way to Hollywood! It was really interesting to learn how her first film was made, her explosive relationship with William Hurt and how she feels about being a leader in the Deaf community. Also, I had not recalled her struggles with chemical dependency and making it to sobriety. Worthwhile reading about a strong and inspiring person! ... show more

  • Not the most well written, but a valuable read
Format: Paperback
As others have said she clearly didn't use a ghost writer, which I commend her for. However, it is a bit clunky to read and doesn't flow very well. Do note that there are some graphic depictions of sexual abuse in the book. They are a part of Matlin's story and her right to tell in as much detail as she feels comfortable. Overall, it is a good and informative read that gives insight into the Deaf experience. ... show more

  • I'll Screen Later
Format: Kindle
This is a wonderful book. It was so good I couldnt put it down. It is the story of Marlee Matlins life. How she wasn't born Deaf by it came on later in her young childhood. And how she fought to be recognised as an actress. Not a Deaf Actress, but an actress. There are all sorts of ascting jobs she has done that I never knew about. And now thanks to the internet, I can go back and find them. I've never seen "Children of a Lesser God", but now I want to see it. I work with Blind and Deaf children and I still learned a lot about the deaf from this book. Marlee has had an amazing life and I enjoyed reading about it. I'll Scream Later ... show more
