-- The Ape Sign Language
Many of us have watched the "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"
and have noticed that the apes' sign language was much better
than the original "Planet of Apes" movies (1968 and 2001).
New Orleans interpreter Shari Bernius spent a lot of time
teaching these "ape-actors" some signs. As a result we
were able to follow some of their signed phrases.
-- Marlee Matlin and James Garner
All-time popular actor James Garner has departed us.
Has Marlee Matlin ever participated in a movie with him?
Yes. It was a 1997 movie - Dead Silence. It was about
three jail escapees holding deaf students as hostages.
Garner played the role of a FBI agent and Marlee as
the teacher of these deaf children.
