In her autobiographyI'll Scream Later,she suggests that her hearing loss may have been due to a genetically malformedcochlea.[10]She is the only member of her family who is deaf. She has a sense of humor about her deafness: "Often I'm talking to people through my speakerphone, and after 10 minutes or so they say, 'Wait a minute, Marlee, how can you hear me?' They forget I have an interpreter there who is signing to me as they talk. So I say, 'You know what? I can hear on Wednesdays.'"[11][12]

Matlin and her two older brothers, Eric and Marc, grew up in aReform Jewishhousehold. Her family roots are in Poland and Russia.[13][14]Matlin attended a synagogue for the Deaf (Congregation Bene Shalom), and after studyingHebrewphonetically, was able to learn herTorahportion for herBat Mitzvah.She was later interviewed for the bookMazel Tov: Celebrities' Bar and Bat Mitzvah Memories.[15]She graduated fromJohn Hersey High SchoolinArlington Heightsand attendedHarper CollegeinPalatine, Illinois.[16]She had planned a career in criminal justice.[17]In her autobiography, Matlin described two instances in which she wasmolested:by a babysitter at age 11, and by a teacher in high school.[18]

But there is something more here, an ironic intelligence, a fierce but not distancing wit, that the movies, with their famous ability to photograph thought, discover in very few performances."[22]Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timeswas also impressed with Matlin, writing, "She holds her own against the powerhouse she's acting with, carrying scenes with a passion and almost painful fear of being rejected and hurt, which is really what her rebellion is about,"[23]and Paul Attasanio ofThe Washington Postsaid, "The most obvious challenge of the role is to communicate without speaking, but Matlin rises to it in the same way the stars of thesilent eradid -- she acts with her eyes, her gestures. "[24]Children of a Lesser Godbrought her aGolden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramaand anAcademy Award for Best Actress.Only 21 years old at the time, Matlin remains theyoungest actress to receive the Oscar in the Best Actress category.She was the onlyDeafnominee and recipient in any category for 36 years until 2022, when deaf actor and filmmakerTroy Kotsurwon forBest Supporting Actorfor his role inCODA,in which Matlin also played a supporting role.[25]

After signing her introduction in ASL, she spoke aloud the names of the nominees and of Michael Douglas, the winner.
