So, I tend to surf around the net and watch videos (particularly those in ASL) and this is one of my favorite people, Marlee, giving an interview. They're also interviewing her interpreter, which I think is really cool. It makes me wonder though cause apparently he's been her interpreter for an astronomical amount of time. Which I think is awesome because obviously they're also really great friends. It was interesting for me to hear about his experience as her interpreter.
Also makes me wonder what someone like Gallaudet and Bell would have thought about this interview too. Particularly, do you think A.G. Bell would have been disappointed that Deafness hadn't been cured? Or that his invention eventually enabled text speak and the dreaded autocorrect which has destroyed so many conversations?
Think Gallaudet would have been proud at how far we've come that we have this interview with a Deaf actress in sign language... or disappointed that we still have a long way to go in securing equality for all people and doing away with stigmas? Sheer curiosity.
Hmm, interesting.
