Marlee Matlin

In 2004, she starred in the film What the #$*! Do We know!? as Amanda. Following her death, Moorehead willed her Emmy for Bewitched, her Oscar nominations and her private papers to Muskingum College, along with her family's home in Rix Mills, Ohio. She was nominated for a 2004 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for a performance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Moorehead herself believed her cancer was related to this exposure, commenting in an interview shortly before her death "I wish I'd never done that damn movie". In 2002, she published her first novel, Deaf Child Crossing, which is loosely based on her own childhood. The irony of this circumstance is that three of Hollywood’s biggest stars may have literally and unknowingly sacrificed their health to make a movie that is consistently rated as one of the worst films of the 1950s. They have a daughter (Sarah Rose, born 1996) and two sons (Brandon, born 2000; Tyler, born 2002). While never confirmed, it is suspected that Moorhead’s cancer was a result of having been exposed to radiation while filming The Conqueror in the Nevada desert. Moorehead, and co-stars John Wayne and Susan Hayward all died from cancer.

Matlin married Kevin Grandalski on August 29, 1993 (in Henry Winkler's back yard). Agnes Moorhead died in Rochester, Minnesota from lung cancer. She is actively involved with a number of charitable organisations, including the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Starlight Foundation, and the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet. Moorehead transitioned to television in a seamless fashion, and again won acclaim and accolades for her work in drama and in comedy. She had recurring roles in The West Wing and Blue's Clues. While never a headlining star in films, her skill at charecter development and her range, allowed Moorehead to garner awards and accolades. She played the lead female role in the television series Reasonable Doubts (1991–1993), and won an Emmy Award for an appearance in Picket Fences. She was also part of Orson Welles' Mercury Theater on the Air radio program in the 1930s and appeared in a Broadway production of Don Juan in Hell in 1950.

Other films followed, as well as television work. Moorehead was a graduate of Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. It was this role for which she got her Golden Globe and Academy Awards. She was born in Clinton, Massachusetts. As an adult, she appeared in a supporting role in the play Children of a Lesser God, which led to her being cast in the lead for the film version of the play in 1986. Agnes Moorehead (December 6, 1900 - April 30, 1974) was an American character actress. She made her stage debut at the age of seven, as Dorothy in a children's theatre version of The Wizard of Oz, and continued to appear with the same children's theatre group throughout her childhood.

(She lost all hearing in her right ear, and 80% of hearing in her left ear.). Born in Morton Grove, Illinois, Matlin lost most of her hearing at the age of 18 months, following a bout of measles. She began acting on stage at the age of seven, and her film début brought her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama and an Academy Award for Best Actress (at 21, the youngest person ever to receive the award) — an achievement even more remarkable because she is almost completely deaf.
