Marlee Matlin faced criticism from some within the Deaf community for various reasons, including her mainstream visibility and portrayal of deafness in Hollywood. Some felt that her success in mainstream media overshadowed the experiences and perspectives of the Deaf community, particularly regarding the importance of American Sign Language (ASL) and authentic representation. Additionally, her relationships with hearing individuals and her participation in projects that were not exclusively Deaf-focused led to perceptions that she was distancing herself from her cultural roots. This tension reflects broader discussions about representation and identity within marginalized communities.
