Your opinion on Marlee Matlin?

A friend of mine told me of an incident that happened at his high school. It turned out that she was from that high school and that school had asked her to come give a speech at the graduation ceremony for the graduating senior class. She was staying some place that was a couple miles (or less?) down the road. She said that she would accept the invitation only if they provided her a limo to drive her down the road to the school. Boy, talk about being greedy and selfish!

Hinsdale South High School or Streamwood?
 
Nuffin new about Marlee Matlin and her attitude. She was such a bitch and snob when she first won the Oscar for 'Children of a Lesser God' in '86 -- she had gotten invited to CSDF (my alumnus school) where I was still a student in high school. Everyone were congegrated at the Little Theatre for her to show up and answer questions, etc. She was only 21 at the time -- so she was still a bit on the immature side at the time as well.
She was so rude to several students and even ordered a tiny teacher to sit down (teacher had stood up so she could be seen, raising her hand to ask a question)

After that, I was turned off by her attitude. She was still like that 5 years later when I saw her in L.A. - I was living there and was attending a meeting and she showed up there...absolutely ignored the deaf group there and kept her back to us while talking to hearing people across the aisle. :roll:

BTW -- I think this thread is a :repost:...MODS, care to check and see? If so, merge them together, please? Ta! :thumb:
 
OMG... I can´t beleive what person she is now...
I watch nearly all of her movies.... She is a good actress but I can´t image that she´s real snobby lady... :eek2:
 
Is it true that Marlee Matlin dated Actor William Hurt for a short time? after they did the movie together "Children of a Lesser God" Personally I do not know her in Real Life Never Met her before. But I Did thought she was a good person after seeing her Movies and T.V.Shows.
 
Hmmm....repost or not...here goes...

I've admired Marlee's work in movies, and in the TV show, "Picket Fences." However, I've heard less than favorable things about her and her attitude, so I'm not sure that I would want to meet her. I've had a taste or two of fame, and it can be overwhelming, but still...if you can't show some appreciation for the people who take the time to watch your films and learn more about you, then you really don't deserve to be famous.

Wanted to be an actress for a while...I certainly would have been a bit nicer than she! LOL.

Malfoyish
 
Yeah Marlee Matlin sounds like an outright self-centered bitch. She looks like a bitch too. I've only ever seen her on Hollywood Squares and she didn't do much other than annoy me. I havent seen her movies though. I should...but yeah, from what i've read she's quite a bitch.
 
Wow! I didnt realize how much Marlee was a bitch! I loved her movie in Children of Lesser God.. That was a good movie... I didnt realize she was a bitch to the deaf community.. I dont think she really accepts who she really is :deaf: !!! Oh well, I think she just wants to fit in so she acts hearing and snobby and all.. Oh well... She did write a book that was really good.. It kind of related to me when I was younger... Its called Deaf Child Crossing.. Anyone heard of it or read it? Just wondering since you guys brought up Marlee Matlin.... Well i do agree that shes a bitch but she has good movies, etc.... I guess deaf bitches do good in entertainment.. :lol:
 
Let me tell u a short story abt Marlee. When I was a student at Gallaudet in 1987. Marlee was there for Gallaudet homecoming. I was walking on the audition stairs and saw all the deaf people look up and I was like huh? I turned around and saw Marlee were sitting middle of the audition and act show off to everyone. I snorted and walked away. When Gallaudet football team won, Marlee were running down on the field with the football players and waving and jumping. I looked at her and said to myself what the fk is she doing?. I walked away and laughed at Marlee for being so immature. :roll:
 
WoW, I could say I'm shocked to hear about Marlee Matlin's attitude....For Myself here, I've never met her in person to know her behind the screen of the movies and shows she was in....

I've admired Marlee's work in movies and TV shows over the years....Never once thought she was worse in person.....

I've always lost of taste of people who show off of the things they have done or become or who is just better than the rest of us....

I guess she isn't the famous deaf actress that I could look up to.... :thumbd:
 
Well, I think that if there's a famous deaf person that we should all really look up to, it is Heather Whitestone. :)
 
I'm just curious about your opinions on Marlee Matlin and who have met her in person, etc? I don't really think much of her...sure, she did a fantastic job in the role of Sarah in 'Children of a Lesser God', but in real life, she was a complete bitch.
Although she may have matured over the years since she starred in 'Children of a Lesser God' and winning the Oscar...I still view her as quite immature.
Reason I said this is because a few months after she won the Oscar, she came to my school (California School for the Deaf in Fremont) for a speech and question/answers from all the students and staff faculty...she was very rude and acted childish on stage in the Little Theatre. She even ORDERED a teacher to sit down when that teacher stood up to ask a question (the teacher's tiny and quite slight for her height)!

After that -- I have thought of her in a negative light. I even saw her again nearly 6 years later in Los Angeles at a meeting I was attending. She completely ignored the deaf group that were there and stayed among the hearing group and didn't even bother to say hi nor sign.

That's my experience and opinion of Marlee. What's yours? Just curious....I was just shaking my head in disbelievement of how she treated people at CSDF and how she behaved, etc.
Watch out for the people whose personality is clearly…like pusher, social climber, manipulator, lair,—has no emotions(empathy) and no thoughts (cognitive- low or zero level) and everything is fake - Just mimicking everything else from suppliers who are ignorantly naive. Many more you name it. That’s narcissistic way. Mentally illness? Can do nothing about it except nodding nicely and walking away.

I feel same way at the cruise when I saw her there and she was way cross line with awful attitude as b**ch plus very immature. That when I lost interest in her and I am grateful for not be friends with her (relief). I prefer who is a very humble, loyalty, and respectful.
 
Three guys and I met her in person. I laughed at her. You are RIGHT that she is rude in person. I can't believe that. But I laughed.
