-- acting roles that Marlee Matlin turns down
Many actors turn down acting roles for reasons
of their own. There is one acting role that
Marlee Matlin woul not accept. It is these

these roles have already been done." Starving
actors do not turn down roles; well-established
actors can be picky about their roles. And
Marlee has been an established performer for
years.
