Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
I was really trying to think back for this one… and as far back as I can remember, Marlee Matlin was my first. I don’t remember when it was exactly but I remember seeing her and thinking she was so alive with life and expression. I don’t even remember realising she was deaf at first. She’s still on my list of favs.

(that link didn't work)Yup, she was (is) pretty cool. I was floored by Children of a Lesser God when I first saw it. In fact, it inspired me to (try to) learn sign-language. She was in some sort of crime drama TV show years after that but it really didn't take off. Too bad. I've always admired her.
Thanks… fixed (redirected) the link…Yeah, I honestly can’t remember what I saw her in first. I know I have’t seen Children of a Lesser God yet so it wasn’t that. She’s been on so many shows and in so many movies that it would be hard to narrow it down.I didn’t realise it at first but she’s in the Baby Einstein – Baby Sign Language video we have… Lady “T” was joking that the DVD ended up being as much for me as for Little “L”. And yup she’s definitley a motivator for learning sign language. 😉
HA HA! I wonder what Marley would think of that 😉 (that the Baby Einstein video is as enjoyable for you as your little fellahs!)You should watch Children of a Lesser God. In fact, I should watch it again. It's been a loooong time!
Opps, it's Marlee not Marley. (but it's Matlin, not Matlan — we're both screwing up her name!)
Ha. Nice… I should get you to edit all of the stuff I post.Fixed. Thanks again.
You wouldn't want me to do that…I suck at spelling without the aid of spellcheck! Oh, I love spellcheck…Besides, your posts don't need editing. You're a pretty error-free guy (put that on a t-shirt! "I'm a pretty error-free guy!" Ha!).
