In Celebration with Caminar
An evening of cause, community, and connection.

Featuring Marlee Matlin

Marlee Matlin is an Oscar-winning actress, activist, and author. At 21, she became the youngest recipient of the best actress Oscar for her role in Children of a Lesser God, and only one of four actors to receive the honor for her film debut. In addition to the Oscar, Marlee received the Golden Globe Award for best actress in a drama.

In 2021, Marlee was nominated once again as executive producer for the live action short film, Feeling Through, and her Apple TV+ film CODA was nominated for three Academy Awards, including best picture. Marlee broke another barrier once again when she and her CODA cast became the first deaf actors to be recognized as best ensemble in a feature film from the SAG Awards.

In 1994, Marlee was appointed by President Clinton to the Corporation for National Service and in 2010, Marlee joined President Barack Obama at the White House in ceremonies celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Despite the odds, Marlee’s journey is an inspiration to everyone, regardless of the barriers they face, and she has refused to let the naysayers get in the way of her dreams of success.
