Yep, I agree, she is the first actress ever get an academy award show that she did break lot of barriers that really shook up everybody. I think that great she did that. How often do a deaf actor or actress ever win an academy? I would say she be the first in history to get a academy award as as deaf person. It was pretty impressive. But glad that happens. :-)
