I'm Not Really Deaf; I Just Faked

Hollywood Embraced Me In The Late '80s Because There Was A Good Project I Was In And It Was Different. Nowadays, It's About Corporate Mentality, Box Office, Youth.

I Have A Great Husband, Great Parents And In-laws, And I Have Help With A Nanny. It's Not Easy, But There Are Others Who Do It Every Day And Don't Have A High-profile Job As I Do.

I've Always Wanted To Write A Book Relating My Experiences Growing Up As A Deaf Child In Chicago. Contrary To What People Might Think, It Wasn't All About Hearing Aids And Speech Classes Or Frustrations.

When I Was Young I Knew I Was Deaf. I Couldn't Accept It.

When I Learned To Sign And Speak At The Same Time, The Whole World Opened Up To Me. That's The Beauty Of Encouraging Kids Who Are Deaf To Use Whatever It Takes To Communicate.
