Now she facing "dancing with the stars" is good challenges to prove that deaf people can do it. I think she tying to help hearing people understand deaf people more in a different view. We all know that there's a movie coming out called " Sweet nothng in my ears" seems like good educations for hearing people to understand deaf situations faces with hearing parents. But I can say she a good actress and that good enough for me.

Agreed. I also would like to add this on my part - Marlee is the first deaf actress to win an academy award. That alone carried a lot of weight and it did indeed broke a lot of barriers. It gave a glimpse of how deaf people were able to incline their selves into the hearing world. She was also a "pioneer" to represent the deaf community in the films on a major level, especially when it comes to be able to bridge the gaps between both worlds.
