Go Away With … Marlee Matlin
After winning an Academy Award for her breakthrough performance in “Children of a Lesser God,” Marlee Matlin has proven herself to be a serious actress with a deft comedic touch. But Matlin, 42, is also an accomplished author of children’s books. Her latest, “Leading Ladies,” which features a spunky young heroine who Matlin says is a lot like she was as a child, picks up where her previous novels left off.
