Matlin, who won a SAG Award for best ensemble alongside her fellow 'CODA' stars, was the first deaf performer to win an Oscar for her lead role in 'Children of a Lesser God.'
Children of a Lesser GodMarking her feature debut, the film focused on the relationship between a hearing speech teacher at a school for deaf children and a deaf custodian working there.
For Matlin, the Oscar win was the culmination of a lifelong dream that began at age 8 when she started appearing in children’s theater productions for the International Center on Deafness and the Arts in Northbrook, Illinois. Henry Winkler, who dealt with undiagnosed dyslexia as a child, saw her in a play there and offered encouragement backstage.
