Marlee Matlin is turning her attention to her literary pursuits, now that she's wrapped up her seven-year recurring stint as deaf lobbyist Joey Lucas on "The West Wing." The Oscar-winning actress has her second children's book set for an end-of- May release by Simon & Schuster, and a third one is in the works for next year.
The soon-due book is called "Nobody's Perfect," "and one theme is acceptance," says Matlin. "It's about the friendship between a deaf girl and another girl in school who seems practically perfect in every way, but the friendship is frustrating, and it turns out she is hiding a brother who is an autistic kid."
Matlin is being honored by AOL as its CEO of the year at a ceremony in New York on May 17, where she will be introduced by Felicity Huffman and give a keynote address.
