Have a chance without giving up

Anonymous

On the evening of March 30, 1987, the Chandler Hall at the Los Angeles Music Center was in full swing, and the long-awaited award ceremony for the 59th Academy Awards was held here. In an atmosphere of enthusiasm and excitement, the ceremony is approaching the climax. The host announced that Mary Mattlin won the Best Actress Award for her outstanding performance in "The Little Child" and that the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause. Mary Mattlin walked out in the applause and joy, and took over the Oscar from the last actor's best actor award winner, William Hurt.

Mary Mattlin, who is holding a gold statue in her hand, is thrilled. She wanted to talk, but people didn't see her mouth moving, and she raised her hand again. 'The person with the sharp eye has already seen that she is signing the sign language to the audience. The insider has already understood what she meant: to say the truth, I am not ready to speak. At this point, I would like to thank the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Art, and I would like to thank all the crew members.

It turns out that the youngest best actress award winner since the Oscar Awards is actually a dumb woman who can't talk.

Mary Mattlin is not only a dumb but also a blind man.

Mary Mattlin was born as a normal child. But after 18 months of birth, a high fever made her lose her ability to listen and speak.

At the age of 8, she joined the Deaf Children's Theatre in Illinois, and at the age of 9, she played Dorothy in The Anse Magician. At the age of 16, Mary was forced to leave the Children's Theatre. Fortunately, she is often invited to perform some deaf characters in sign language. It was these performances that made Mary realize the value of her life. She used these performance opportunities to constantly train herself and improve her acting skills.

In 1985, 19-year-old Mary participated in the performance of the stage play "Children of Little God." She played a minor role, but this performance put Mary on the screen.

Female director Randh Hines decided to make "Little Kid's Child" into a movie. But looking for Sara's actor, the director took a lot of trouble. She spent half a year searching in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Sweden, but could not find a suitable person, so she returned to the United States to watch the video of the stage play "Children of Little God." She discovered Mary's superb acting and decided to immediately use Mary as the heroine of the film and play Sarah.

Sarah, played by Mary, has no lines in the whole film. She relies on her eyes, expressions and movements to reveal the complex inner world of her protagonist. Inferiority and unyielding, joy and depression, loneliness and passion, depression and struggle. Mary is diligent, rigorous, and takes every shot seriously, taking pictures with her own heart, so the performance is vivid and vivid.

In this way, Mary Mattlin succeeded. She became the first dumb film in the history of American cinema, and like her said: my success is an incentive for everyone, whether it is normal or disabled.
