WOW just saw this rehearsal tape with Marlee and Fabian and here comes a contender! Marlee looks fantastic !
ET's 'Dancing' With Marlee Matlin
"Fabian is my music," Marlee says. "I really can't hear the music. Music, particularly that I am not familiar with, sounds like noise to me. No offense to the artist or to the musician, but I have to depend on Fabian to be my music. It all comes from him. I draw it from him and then I can dance."
The 'Children of a Lesser God' star says she decided to be on the ABC competition show for her kids, for the challenge, and to keep busy during the strike, which has now ended.
"My daughter, who is 12, is really into hip hop. I wanted to be the coolest mom on earth for her. I wanted to do something I would never imagine myself doing in this lifetime," she admits.
"Dancing with the Stars" premieres its sixth season on Monday, March 17 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
