Disabled Performers Advocate for Allies in Hollywood: ‘Inclusion Needs to Be a Movement and Not a Moment

Kristen Lopez Having written about disability representation in Hollywood for several years now, I know that activism on the topic so often begins and ends with us. If you look at various award shows, and the few times Deaf and disabled people have won, it’s generally seen as a platform for deconstruction of how fervently they’ve advocated or represented the disabled community. Whether that was “Children of a Lesser God” star Marlee Matlin becoming the first Deaf woman to win an acting Oscar and giving her speech in American Sign Language or Louise Fletcher signing to her Deaf parents after winning the supporting actress Oscar for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” disability on the awards stage brings up a variety of emotions.

Marlee Matlin Says Hollywood Hasn’t Changed Since ‘CODA,’ but That Won’t Stop Her From Creating Her Own Projects: ‘I’m Still Knocking on Doors’

‘Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore’ Review: The Trailblazing Deaf Oscar Winner Opens Up in a Winning Documentary

Lisa Kennedy In her documentary “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore,” the star continues to explore the at times lonesome space she has occupied since bursting on the scene in 1986: that of being a representative for deaf people, and being herself. For more than three decades, Matlin was the only deaf performer to have won an Oscar, and among the few to have what could be considered a mainstream acting career.
